re: #65 Citizen K

The algorithms wouldn’t be this easily exploited if those that were in charge put effort into fixing them. And considering how long this has been a problem, it raises the question of whether those in charge actually see it as a problem, or whether they see it as working exactly as it should to them.

In other words, at some point, complicity becomes a more likely explanation than incompetence.

I suspect that there is an overwhelming percentage of white dudes still in positions of power in these companies and as a result they can’t see how to fix the problems. It’s literally a lack of diversity that’s causing a giant fucking blind spot.
