      Okay then let’s get rid of the phone, it was just an example either way. Every program consists of algorithms, no matter where it is installed: in your phone, car or TV. In a street light, a digital thermometer or a smoke detector.

      get rid of anything that’s an algorithm.

      If we do that, no digital thing will work anymore. It’s not just social media. Or phones. It’s everything.
