He mentions that the user gets to know what are the factors influencing what he sees and he suggests that the user has some control over the factors.

Since the telegraf people has believed that the new medium would open up the world, make it a better place, more peace less war. Its just didn't happend. Sure, internet could be a place for learning new things, see things from a new angle - but people (most of them) simply dont care about something far away that they never will get in touch with. Why? - Then you would had to care about everything happing on earth. If google gave you the choise, you do want personalized results or not, on every search, im pretty sure most people would want results related to them. Why get places for take-away foods far away? if you are hurgry, you probaly want to eat now. Its an easy target – and I dont agree filtering is a bad thing.

Google, Facebook, etc are out there to make money. Do you honestly think that these executives are going to change because of this speech? Let's see who's in the naivety bubble. Just stop using these unfriendly programs and demand for alternatives. Wake up people. Google, Facebook, etc are out there to make money.

See, it takes eons for even a thing called "foresight" to even gestate in the minds of businessmen and politicians. The world should listen to writers more often. http://unimore.academia.edu/PatrickCoppock/Papers/331488/A_Conversation_on_Information._An_Interview_With_Umberto_Eco Umberto Eco already raised this issue in 1995– a decade before Facebook and Twitter.

What is TRULY DEPRESSING is the suggested solution. He kindly asks people to incorporate "ethics" and other issues into the search results. Its absolutely absurd!!! No algorithms! No filtering! NOTHING!! This is the only sensible solution! THERE IS NO OTHER WAY! Why should I give some people an authority to influence what I can see?? Improved algorithms is just another means by which one person controls MILLIONS of others!!! What I find most striking in this talk are not speakers observations.

It speaks to the very lowest form of human awareness; complete obliviousness to the world outside your little bubble. This is a great question to be raised by the speaker: is "relevance" necessarily "valuable"? The whole notion of relevance as the key to a good search engine really does make it apparent that it's nothing but a sales mechanism. This is a very poignant video.
