No one is FORCED to use the search engines they are provided.
True, but the services I mentioned--all extremely popular-- should by definition be politically neutral in the first place. The very fact former Facebook employees mentioned this bias on the News Feed tells me the entire tech industry is culpable--especially when you remember that picture taken some years ago of President Obama having dinner with CEO's of several important tech companies based in the Bay Area.
That's why I say within the next few days watch for a major breaking story in the Wall Street Journal talking about data bias on social media, web search results, voice command search results and even product search results on retail web sites. The fallout could be gigantic, to say the least.
Should be?
By whose rules?
Who has the POWER to enforce it?
A truly democratic 'social media' site would NOT have the 'power' to 'moderate' what was being typed upon it.
Do we REALLY want that?
Is it even POSSIBLE?
