Big Data is out of control. Who are you gonna call?
We need the same open transparency required for Utilities to be applied to Social Media "algorithms" and manual fiddling with interactions. Sunlight is the disinfectant and our only option if we are to keep our freedom. Trump needs to do for Big Data what TR did for Railroads.

Google-owned video platform YouTube took down a video from Project Veritas showing a senior employee at the company appearing to admit that the company plans to interfere in the next presidential election to stop Donald Trump.
The video, which is still available on the Project Veritas website featured undercover footage of a top Google employee, Jen Gennai, stating that the company shouldn’t be broken up because only they can prevent the “next Trump situation.”
….which the White House said on Twitter was directed at users “no matter your views,” seeks to collect names, contact information and other details from Americans. The survey asks whether they have encountered problems on Facebook, Instagram, Google-owned YouTube, Twitter or other social media sites — companies the president frequently takes aim at for alleged political censorship.
The survey claims that “too many Americans have seen their accounts suspended, banned, or fraudulently reported for unclear ‘violations’ of user policies.”
What the FakeNews Washington Post should really be reporting on is Big Tech’s war on the First Amendment and the privacy rights of the American public.
