    Every word of this crucial piece. Journalists also publish BASELESS algorithmic panic pieces—to chase clicks. Read: http://idlewords.com/2017/09/anatomy_of_a_moral_panic.htm …pic.twitter.com/o8UdweIO0O

        That Amazon & alleged algorithmic suggestion of "bomb-making material" was not solid—and journalism's role should've been to discover that.

        But people are—very understandably—uneasy about the power of algorithmic structures, and thus stories about it get clicks. Hence the threat!

        If journalists are forced to play to obvious algorithmic rewards, they then make themselves irrelevant. That's the real threat algos pose.

        The algorithm has become the enemy Reminds me of the times when the JPG format was considered evil because it facilitated pornography

        To be clear, it’s not the algorithm that’s the enemy. It’s the (self-destructive) current economic model for most journalism.

        Google and facebook would do well to prioritize FACTS and then clicks. Their model is flawed and dangerous

        The fault, dear @zeynep, is not in our algos, but in ourselves...
