Supreme Court admits they're not the best choice to decide internet future
Just going by the article, it really doesn&#x27;t seem like the nature of what was going on is being articulated here.<p>- The ISIS video was not recommended by random chance, it was recommended because the &quot;algorithm&quot; thought it was <i>engaging</i>. Its a deliberate profit driven choice that Google failed to clamp, not some innocent software bug.<p>- Calling the Google&#x27;s recommendation engine an &quot;algorithm&quot; is kinda like calling the Apollo program a research project. Its far from some nebulous side feature like they are describing it.<p>- They are also trivializing YouTube&#x27;s UI design which, again, is a finely tuned engagement machine.<p>Maybe the justices are right about tech not being their area of expertise. But business ethics in relation to that &quot;good faith&quot; clause is precisely their thing... if the lawyers can boil things down to that.
