Do feed and ranking algorithms have "sub-rational" influence over people's thoughts and opinions? If feeds are mind control, shouldn't courts and lawmakers just ban mind control? I'm glad we're taking it out of the hands of a foreign government, but why put it in the hands of domestic tech companies?
