This is like saying discrimination that gets baked into an ML model isn't the creators' fault imo.
- Thorentis 6y agoNo it isn't. The creator chooses which data to feed in, and which not to. Garbage in, garbage out. If Facebook positions itself as the arbitor of data and actively stops people from posting, then it must take responsibility for what is on the platform. If it simply allows people to sort the data that anybody can post, then any properties of that sorting (whether by likes, or date posted) are emergent.
