Just wrong

This man thinks that Facebook's founder rules, in a sense, over two billion people - and he just thinks it's wrong. This is not the opinion of some random guy, but the opinion of the Global Planning lead at Facebook. I hope he has some other career path open to him.

Here is one of the points he makes in the following video. We tend to think that computers have no bias. That's true. But the human beings who write the code that computer programs operate with . . do have bias. For example: if a politician wishes to find racist voters, an algorithm can identify data points which the programmer feels indicate racism such as his/her religious practice, home town, education background. "I can target racist people using just those three things."

He says, "I work for a company that is doing a lot of damage in the world . . . Facebook and Google must be stopped."

You'll see the journalist near the end of this video tell him that she intends to release their conversation "to the American people." She asks him if he would like to go on record to help stop the activity he has condemned. His answer is, "No."

If this interests you and you'd like to see this video, you should probably watch it asap. You know who owns youtube. (Also read the comments.)
