Algorithmic control doesn't mean mind control - it works best when attention isn't directly drawn to it. It's also hard to "algorithmic control" your way out of a lawsuit when public opinion doesn't change the outcome.
And if you're talking about public opinion, just look down this thread - most people are against this action, not for it.
This makes sense but I guess I thought public opinion would make a difference here because USA is a democracy and everything. That's at least from my understanding what is supposed to distinguish the USA from China.
