For those that are looking for a plethora of examples where machine-learning models went wrong, I can recommend the following read:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weapons_of_Math_Destruction
The examples are mostly US based, so if you're looking for a EU or other continent-example, this is not the book for you.

Does that mean that the book is biased?

I found that the article was also pretty USA-centric (or -biased, if you like). More so than LWN typically is.

For example, I was reading offline and couldn’t readily guess what twin cities were meant – and I am not well versed in how the mentioned universities typically earn money.
