Data discrimination is a real social problem; Noble argues that the combination of private interests in promoting certain sites, along with the monopoly status of a relatively small number of Internet search engines, leads to a biased set of search algorithms that privilege whiteness and discriminate against people of color, specifically women of color. Through an analysis of textual and media searches as well as extensive research on paid online advertising, Noble exposes a culture of racism and sexism in the way discoverability is created online. As search engines and their related companies grow in importance—operating as a source for email, a major vehicle for primary and secondary school learning, and beyond—understanding and reversing these disquieting trends and discriminatory practices is of utmost importance. An original, surprising and, at times, disturbing account of bias on the internet, Algorithms of Oppression contributes to our understanding of how racism is created, maintained, and disseminated in the 21st century.DISCRIMINAZIONI RAZZIALIUONC059503FIRAZZISMOAspetti sociologiciUONC098069FIUSNew YorkUONL000050320.56RAZZISMO21NOBLESafiyaUONV284982792424New York University PressUONV247694650ITSOL20240220RICASIBA - SISTEMA BIBLIOTECARIO DI ATENEOUONSIUON00504261SIBA - SISTEMA BIBLIOTECARIO DI ATENEOSI II ANT-SOCA D 0868 SI 36816 5 0868 SIBA - SISTEMA BIBLIOTECARIO DI ATENEOSI202158 1J 20210107 Algorithms of oppression1771940UNIOR1
