Journalism without judgment, the discretion of accountable human editors replaced by automated, faceless "conversational health metrics," is the magic fix Twitter, Facebook News, and Google are rapidly converging upon for the crisis they've helped create.

Twitter's fix for realizing they're helping to destroy democracy is... tolerance algorithms!
Cf @LMSacasas's argument that the tech companies' fundamental interest is in framing these problems as fringe accidents rather than intrinsic features, and in fixes that allow them to claim they're doing something while avoiding direct accountability. thenewatlantis.com/publications/t…
