      To any academic working on algorithmic accountability whom I've offended with my NYTimes piece today: I know you're working hard, against the odds. I'm trying to make the point that you deserve *much more support*. The tech companies are absolutely more powerful than we are.

      It's not about being offended! To get that *much more support* for this work, you need the correct analysis of *why* we don't have it. It's not because academics are "asleep at the wheel." We're deliberately attacked, defunded, blocked and pressured to stop us from critical work!

          this is absolutely right - C, you know so many of us are out here, see us at the same events, fight in meetings/panels to get the same points across. Why not highlight those robust efforts, often by women and POC rather than paint us all as unreflective academics chasing $??

          ... yeah. I think this hits the nail on the head as to why it's not a good article. Adding funding is a great thesis, but isn't in the article.

          And despite the deliberate defunding, and that the data belongs to corporations that often don't like the criticism and the pressure, there is so much work—which you know! If you mean CS departments: say that *and* even there, we need a better framing of what's going on and why.

          I gotta agree with @zeynep, this premise is off. Hard to believe the setup that legislators are sitting there waiting for academics to help them understand, but none walk through the door.

          With all due respect, neither of you live in Washington. And that makes a huge difference.

          If the problem lies in translating to Washington that’s a different story than simply research need more support.
