      Many know my 2012 NYT op-ed on dangers of digital targeting, experimentation and platforms. But I wrote longer, too. http://www.nytimes.com/2012/11/17/opinion/beware-the-big-data-campaign.html …pic.twitter.com/GuAOEJbOGm

      I absolutely wasn't the only person warning about any of this. We've been talking about this since 2010 or so—started after Obama 08.

      So I don't buy the idea that we were all blindsided by 2016. Nobody can forecast exact futures—but the worrisome dynamics were identified.

          I'm going on about it because "this was unforeseeable" opens way to denying responsibility & accountability. Broad outline was pretty clear.

          Also, "nobody could've foreseen" ignores the many, many people from marginalized communities who've been *yelling*.https://twitter.com/sara_ann_marie/status/918842676526682112 …

          Silicon Valley also tends to treat each ethical issue like a bug fix: whoops, we'll squash it. Avoids a macro view of history, systems.
