Re; deep thinking

That may well be the case - or not. I think we ought to think very much about matters of bias in social design. Particularly when it involves our own data.

From the Guardian article “with friends like these”

ADDED/UPDATED: I wanted to add here that I disagree with Hodgson’s first few paragraphs (the usual dismissal of SNS for essentially luddite reasons - and purely opinion) but think his in-depth analysis of stakeholders quite breathtaking. Especially in relation to their stated ideological investments - in social and political policy. I think we ought to know just what it is we’re taking part in. And how its very design is anything but neutral.
