    CODED BIAS... Perhaps Even in the User Reviews???
    From PASTO, COLOMBIA-VIA: L. A. CA; CALI, COLOMBIA+ORLANDO, FL

    -----------The ONLY TONY KISS CASTILLO on FaceBook!--------------

    It is hard to imagine any relatively well-informed viewer who would have NEVER heard any rumblings of the major topics touched upon in this Documentary. BIAS' Strength is rooted in its thoroughness, logical progression of presentation, and manner of underlining the cultural significance and hidden impact of the subjct matter on almost every aspect of our lives!

    BIAS really brings home how algorithms used by large corporations and Governments have managed to permeate every aspect of our lives... Exerting a level of control that very few of us might have ever imagined before dedicating 89 Minutes of Your life to watching Carefully! Perhaps one of the most intriguing aspects of BIAS is the participation of several representatives of a number of Consumer/Public Ineterest Watchdog groups... Working tirelessy to stop the drip-drip-drip erosion of our precious civil Rights and our Privacy! KUDOS for their selfess contribution to making the world a better place to live!

    Over 60% of USERS Who Rated BIAS gave it between 7 & 10 Stars... It is a Shame that so few of them felt motivated to POST a review. The Many 1 Star REVIEWS are not representative of that High-Ratings Majority! Certainly, in my case, I found CODED BIAS, engaging, informative & rather entertaining... I Sincerely Think You will, too!

    ENJOY! / DISFRUTELA!.... 8********STARS.
