      @zyx This is painful to read: "On Facebook, ignorance of the algorithm had serious conse-
      quences. Our participants used News Feed to make inferences
      about their relationships, wrongly attributing the composition
      of their feeds to the habits or intent of their friends and family.
      Users incorrectly concluded that friends had dropped them
      due to political disagreements or their unappealing behavior."
