What gets me is her reaction to the image cropping feature in that her reaction to something being slightly biased is to shitcan the whole thing rather than idk adding more black people to the dataset. Really speaks to the ridiculous mindset and indicates to me that it was a good thing that she got fired.

I doubt that was her call to make.

I think they probably reported the problem, and then the company decided it was cheaper to trash the feature than try to fix it.

I quote " Our solution was straightforward: Image cropping wasn’t a function that needed to be automated, so Twitter disabled the algorithm." Our solution means that it was her suggestion. Anyone who's solution to a problem like that is to shitcan the feature should be fired on general principles
