Yup, that is the core issue. We have all this great tech, but then deploy it against ourselves. The peak is when FB optimized for polarized (ahem fake) content, because that is what drives "engagement".

I'm not sure what is the solution here. Regulations around more algorithmic transparency? "Low tech" alternatives? User education?
