This is worrying and thought provoking. Are social media and chat box media reducing literacy? Are we reading fewer books and complex articles?

Whilst justice is still not served in the #HorizonITscandal, i hope we all remain critical of automated systems and demand accountability in their use. Automated systems cannot replace ethical, transparent human oversight
