I trust Silicon Valley a hell of a lot more than I trust our government...

Although I find it quite troubling that I often feel like I have to hold my tongue when visiting Silicon Valley when discussion turns to politics.
I’m slightly right of center politically but range quite broadly issue by issue, including a couple issue where I Lean to the left.
I feel incredibly uncomfortable discussing most anything right of the political center based on common narratives and what I perceive to be the local/cultural group think average.
I’m decidedly a non tech founder, but tech conversant.
I’m trying to learn more about algorithm fundamentals and design and have been reading an article or two about bias in algorithms.
Would there be public service value in auditing/monitoring commercial algorithms?
I would never wish to hinder the velocity and quality of commercial innovation, but a few algorithms at a few companies have a massively outsized influential impact on our lives.
The non-poaching agreements make me disagree with you.
