RE: https://fediscience.org/@oatp/116438875358622213

"Maximal transparency is almost certainly not ethically desirable."

Desirable 'for whom'?

For platforms facing regulatory scrutiny, opacity is a feature. For users discriminated against by biased recommendation engines, transparency is survival. For communities targeted by algorithmic manipulation, openness is a civil liberty.

This paper usefully breaks transparency into dimensions and degrees—providing the "choice points" for an ethics of algorithmic openness. But let us be clear: the stakeholders who need transparency most are rarely the ones invited to design these systems.

Our job as advocates for privacy, free software, and civil liberties is not to settle for the "ethically optimal" comfort zone of the powerful. It is to push the needle toward the maximum and let the burden of justification fall on those who demand secrecy.

Let us use it to demand more.
