>As ownership of content platforms is disconnected from local communities, it becomes more profitable to engage in exploitative behaviour that would not be acceptable on a local scale. Computers simply don't care if you trust them or not, and we the programmers have yet to make that an important factor in how platforms decide which content is promoted to end users. I believe this is by design, at some level. The programmers don't make that an important factor, because the ones who actually make the decisions don't make that an important factor.
