Which article are you evaluating?
Algorithmic bias

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article because when we learned about this topic in class, the concept of algorithmic bias and its implications for society fascinated me. Furthermore, while I couldn't find anything specifically about social media censorship, which is what I'm doing my project on, this article is tangentially related. While social media companies may deliberately decide to suppress certain marginalized groups, algorithmic bias also helps perpetuate this suppression. Aside from Tumblr, the vast majority of social media today does not have chronological timelines. Instead, they rely on AI and algorithms to decide what to put in your feed as you scroll. This not only provides a handy vehicle for censorship, it can perpetuate said censorship in and of itself, keeping users ensconced in a bubble, in an echo chamber, suppressing marginalized groups all the more through the inherent bias of the data it's trained on in a self-perpetuating cycle.

The lead sentence is excellent. It gives a concise and accurate overview of what algorithmic bias is.
