But, if you type in ?white girls,? the results are radically different. The suggested porn sites and un-moderated discussions about ?why black women are so sassy? or ?why black women are so angry? presents a disturbing portrait of black womanhood in modern society.In Algorithms of Oppression, Safiya Umoja Noble challenges the idea that search engines like Google offer an equal playing field for all forms of ideas, identities, and activities. 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. 606 $aSearch engines$xSociological aspects 606 $aDiscrimination 615 0$aSearch engines$xSociological aspects. 615 0$aDiscrimination. 676 $a025.04252 686 $aLB 31960$2rvk 700 $aNoble$b Safiya Umoja$0769161 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910825505103321 996 $aAlgorithms of oppression$94105954 997 $aUNINA
