ALGORITHMS are WITHOUT TRANSPARENCY IN LIFE?

" The algorithm and the criteria for the algorithm were secret. "
--------^ we can't live with this happening - it gives them power and their own type of justice (whoever changes algorithm changes the justice)

EXTENDED / SUB-TOPIC (OPTIONAL)

In Amazon but not only, the whole non-transparent stuff needs to change for corporations.

It's a major lock-out / choke-point and increasing humanitarian issue as ALGORITHM ARE POLITICAL and part of individual+corporate+government decision-making (Iran (the government) just blocked Signal communication for uprising happening allegedly).

This shows raw reality of computing 'power' (backed by code and humans behind it - innocent and not innocent) who make a big difference.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amazon_W

Amazon faced protests, from ***its own employees*** and activists, for the anti-migrant collaboration with authorities.

2nd part:
At the same time individuals need less to be transparent (with corporations or easy-access info like who their contacts are etc).
