After criticism of racial bias, Twitter says its automated image cropping showed “salient” areas of the image, but will change it to give users more control
Twitter will change its automated image cropping feature after users complained that it was biased.

“we are committed to following the ‘what you see is what you get’ principles of design, meaning quite simply: the photo you see in the Tweet composer is what it will look like in the Tweet.” https://twitter.com/...
