Okay but what about the intense war going on for youtube content creators getti g banned or content struck right now. Or all the wrongful bans on platforms like facebook or Twitter.


The blame for that falls squarely on the

a) Executives at Alphabet, who are ultimately in charge of the companies decisions

b) The individual product managers, lawyers, engineers, and whoever else is involved in creating, maintaining, and running the system that bans people inappropriately.

The algorithm they are using is a tool that they are using to do this, using a tool does not absolve them of the responsibility in any way.
