Recently, I have been seeing a political statement cropping up more and more in the RStudio console. The statement reads: #refugeeswelcome. (Unfortunately, I cannot see how to attach a screen capture to this post.) While I agree with this sentiment, I feel it is bad practice for analysis software to push unsolicited political statements. If we open the door to politics in our analysis software, some users (especially among political scientists and social scientists) may worry if they can trust that their data is not being covertly scrutinized for subject matter and if the results returned by the analysis have not been secretly biased by a clever politically-motivated algorithm. We have entered the age of AI after all. I know this sounds crazy paranoid, but wouldn't it be best not to open that door?
