Blame the algorithms.

It's time to open algorithms to public scrutiny.

Let's see how searches are being manipulated.

If the businesses paid for the adds it should be on Facebook to see they are published.

"Inadvertently"

Sure. Just like FB "inadvertently" gave info on its ~1Bil users to Obama's re-election campaign in 2012.

That kind of "inadvertently".

why are they doing any of this?

political ads are blocked? why?

these social media platforms should have one criteria: legal/illegal.

Anything else invites corruption.

I don’t imagine they’ll ever have to worry about a business with “Obama” in the name.

My business does basic and advanced firearms training and the state conceal carry classes. Firearms is in the business name. They rejected it almost immediately.

So why not Obama? McCain? Pence? Harris? Warren?
Why not ban all white European names?

Have to ban “Clinton” because they wouldn’t want any stories about her crimes to inundate the feeds of the masses. Hillary is a big turn off.

FB algorithms are just the tip. Algorithms decide your credit score, your FAIR Isaac score, your ability to get a mortgage.

In business a good algorithm is good/accurate 60% to 80% of the time. Rare is it accurate more than 80% of the time. The result is that most of the time 20% of people who deserve something are denied what they deserve.
