@thomasfuchs @fildon@mastodon.lol I'm not pretending people don't write the technology. But the technology, as you put it, propagates the bias. And that's what makes the difference.

Indeed. And if we're making tools to carry messages, we have to be looking into how these tools can either reinforce or minimize what the wielder determines to be good or bad. Historically, technology HAS moved in favor of maximizing the ills of people and hiding the well-meaning parts of it. This can't just be an objective thing because technology is used subjectively.
