Thirdly, researchers should be aware of discursive mechanisms, such as Google’s discursive practices that have been addressed in this thesis. Similarly to how media critics may pay attention to framing by politicians, scholars should be aware of discursive constructions of algorithms by software companies. Underlying assumptions should be brought to the surface so that any ungrounded assumptions can be addressed and, if necessary, changed. It may be clear by now that there are many issues raised regarding the intensive use of algorithms in society. Further research may extend on the research done in this thesis by incorporating other powerful agencies, such as Facebook to (better) understand how ideas are naturalized and what is veiled behind ideological promises. What claims are made and on what assumptions are these based? Are these assumptions grounded? What are users expected to give in return? 53
