Everytime a company tries to implement something like this this always happens. I wonder why... hmm...

By now you would think they would write a script to output what they want and call it an 'algorithm.' The reason they haven't is because they can't. They're too possessed to conceive of a reality different than what they want and too retarded to execute the deception if they thought of it.

I like to believe that somewhere deep inside facebook, a gnarly engineer is writing the algorithm as stated in the specs and not what they "want". Simply because he develops to spec and not to vague things like ideology

You ask for for an algorithm and he will damn well give you one. It is not his fault that the woke lords are too afraid to put their demented wishes in writing in case of a leak.

I can dream can't I?

"Job's done, boss."

-"This says that black people use racist words all the time."

"Hey boss, all I do it make the algorithm and tell it to flag use of the n-word."

-"Could you maybe NOT make it flag black people saying it? We know they have different rules because of their... racial difficulties."

"Lemme check, boss... Algorithm says you're racist for wanting them treated differently."

-"THAT ALGORITHM IS TRANSMISOGYRACIST!"

"Not my fault, it's the algorithm."

Reminds me of a log from Horizon Zero Dawn:

CODE EXPERT: The protocols use poly-phasic entangled waveforms. Quantum encryption, Black Quartz stuff, way beyond military-grade. That's what you demanded, so that's what we delivered.

TED FARO: You don't code something you can't crack. All we need is a back door. Upload the latest service pack update and the problem [rogue self-replicating robots] goes away.

CODE EXPERT: You specifically forbade us from leaving anything resembling a back door in code. "Every protocol to Black Quartz standard." Your words. Look. If you need me to fudge some projections, it's nothing we haven't done before.

TED FARO: I don't need fudged projections! I need a way to reassert control over the Hartz-Timor swarm!

CODE EXPERT: I don't know what to tell you, Ted. You're asking the impossible...

Fun fact: This request to not put in a back door on military robots leads to mankind getting killed off in the game's backstory.
