Rarely a book pisses me off so much, especially considering how much worse everything is 7 years later.
Recently when I deleted my bird-site profile, I noticed that in the settings, it was recorded as "Gender - Male".
I never set my gender in such profiles - after all, my avatar is a coffee cup, coffee is surely gender-neutral.
So it makes me think the algorithm looked at posts re #coffee and #science and said -> male.
Problematic enough, but then it put the faulty logic straight into the settings. Yes I can correct it (if necessary) but that is not the point.

From Australia to the United States, welfare fraud algorithms sold on claims that they make governments more efficient have made people’s lives worse.
In the Netherlands, Rotterdam’s algorithmic troubles have run in parallel with a nationwide machine learning scandal.
