Paper argues algorithmic neutrality is impossible because relevance itself is value-laden

A philosophy paper argues that “algorithmic neutrality” is a false ideal because systems such as search engines cannot escape value judgments.
The paper’s position is that relevance and similar core metrics are already value-laden, so the right question is not whether algorithms are neutral, but which moral values they encode and optimize for.
