I think you make an interesting point: if we use context to train a model to reflect local biases instead of global biases, will that be more just and/or lead to better user experience?
It seems related to the question of whether Google results should be tailored to you. If I Google "did Russia interfere in the election", should Google tailor the results so I always see articles that reinforce my world view?
If we go that route, I think we take the path of Stephen Colbert's concept of "Truthiness", where we judge something as true because it "feels" true. Users will definitely be happier if everything they see reinforces their existing world view. So companies will be incentivized to accommodate this desire. But does this actually lead to a more just society?
