> After my team’s audit of the image-crop feature was published, Twitter recognized the need for constructive public feedback, so we hosted our first algorithmic-bias bounty. We made our code available and let outside data scientists dig in—they could earn cash for identifying biases that we’d missed.
Would it not be cheaper, faster and easier to just remove the auto crop feature entirely at let users decide what they want to see as they view the post?
It seems to me if Twitter has major outage issues then money and attention should best be directed to fixing that rather than these other features of dubious value.
