> Vilifying "algorithms" only serves to distract from root causes.

But that's the goal of some actors. They want to misdirect attention and responsibility away from themselves when their creations misbehave.

The root cause is no-one is really at the wheel once the algorithm goes into production to provide human discretion. For instance, pretty much the entire consumer facing apparatus of Google and Facebook consists of "algorithms" and there's no one empowered to call when they go wrong. Fixing that would cost money that the tech giants don't want to spend.
