  This. Don’t rob the public of agency, they actively choose algorithms.

    I don’t disagree with that but what about the people that are not connected to information like we are? What about the average Joe that is asked for an Instagram account so that he can get the contact of a person promising a job? (Just a random example).

      I have a Facebook account too actually for far more vapid reasons of needing a “meta” account to use Oculus Quest, and I have an Instagram from the before-times - for when I was a content creator. I just don’t use them.
