Black Feminist Musings on Algorithmic Oppression

Understand

This paper unapologetically reflects on the critical role that Black feminism can and should play in abolishing algorithmic oppression.

• Positioning algorithmic oppression in the broader field of feminist science and technology studies, I draw upon feminist philosophical critiques of science and technology and discuss histories and continuities of scientific oppression against historically marginalized people.
• Moreover, I examine the concepts of invisibility and hypervisibility in oppressive technologies a l\'a the canonical double bind.
• Furthermore, I discuss what it means to call for diversity as a solution to algorithmic violence, and I critique dialectics of the fairness, accountability, and transparency community.
