Wow citation needed, and a nyt opinion piece is not research proving your claim.

Man - to hell with this forum, I ask for evidence on a claim that other posters have pointed out is a misapplication of other research 'webscam algos != cash bail algos'

And I get downvoted!?

This is tech news, something the general public can get easily manipulated into...and for demanding a degree of reasonable discourse and reference, i get downvoted?

Bleh, this place is turning into a place i cant speak relatively freely in.

I doubt it was your request for evidence that got you downvoted, it was the way you phrased both the request and the follow-up comment.

Try a more polite tone and you may get better results.
