He's talking about the neutrality vs agency of technology, which is largely unrelated to most of the political articles on HN. For context, here is a good thread with a bunch of Ph.D. researchers linking to their favorite academic resources on this topic: https://www.fwdeveryone.com/t/oSUhsJffQNCxSFVBQNCLKA/air-agency-neutrality-algorithms https://www.fwdeveryone.com/t/oSUhsJffQNCxSFVBQNCLKA/air-age... This thread on technological determinism vs social construction of technology is also very relevant. https://www.fwdeveryone.com/t/QNW9-XK6RdmoeRtUp4b5eQ/air-seeking-short-introduction-tech https://www.fwdeveryone.com/t/QNW9-XK6RdmoeRtUp4b5eQ/air-see... Anyway this is what Turner is talking about when he's talking about algorithmic bias and actor-network theory. It has nothing to do with random articles about Trump's immigration policies or affirmative action or whatever, which is most of what gets flagged on HN.
