Claiming an algorithm you've built, maintained, adjusted and censored as needed is some sort of semi-autonomous objective force that we must all reckon with is a disingenuous non-argument.
Instead, let's simplify and follow the money. You're in the advertising business. Left unregulated, advertisers will erect a billboard depicting a cartoon Joe the Camel smoking across the street from an elementary school.
Left to regulate themselves, advertisers will claim 9 out of 10 doctors say cigarettes are good for your health.
Advertising must be regulated, full stop. No excuse, no matter how laboured, can justify hate profiteering.
