Sample Book Insights:
#1 Search engines, and in particular, Google, are constantly changing and evolving. This chapter captures aspects of commercial search from 2009 to 2015, but surely by the time readers engage with it, it will be a historical study rather than a contemporary one.
#2 Search engines such as Google, Bing, and Yahoo are a product of the majority culture, and as such they reflect the values and whims of the majority. They rarely question or explore the historical and social conditions that give rise to these results.
#3 I had intended to help my stepdaughter and her cousins find fun activities, but I inadvertently exposed them to one of the most graphic and blatant illustrations of what advertisers already thought about them: Black girls were still the fodder of porn sites.
#4 The internet is a reflection of the hegemonic frameworks and notions that are often resisted by women and people of color. interrogating what advertising companies serve up as credible information must happen, rather than have a public instantly gratified with stereotypes in three-hundredths of a second.

#1

Search engines, and in particular, Google, are constantly changing and evolving. This chapter captures aspects of commercial search from 2009 to 2015, but surely by the time readers engage with it, it will be a historical study rather than a contemporary one.

#2

Search engines such as Google, Bing, and Yahoo are a product of the majority culture, and as such they reflect the values and whims of the majority. They rarely question or explore the historical and social conditions that give rise to these results.

#3

I had intended to help my stepdaughter and her cousins find fun activities, but I inadvertently exposed them to one of the most graphic and blatant illustrations of what advertisers already thought about them: Black girls were still the fodder of porn sites.

#4

The internet is a reflection of the hegemonic frameworks and notions that are often resisted by women and people of color. interrogating what advertising companies serve up as credible information must happen, rather than have a public instantly gratified with stereotypes in three-hundredths of a second.

Information monopolies such as Google have the ability to prioritize web search results on the basis of a variety of topics, such as promoting their own business interests over those of competitors or smaller companies that are less profitable advertising clients than larger multinational corporations.

#6

Search engines, like the rest of the Internet, are a creation of complex algorithms that select and prioritize information for users. While knowledge of the technical aspects of search and retrieval is necessary to have a profound impact on these systems, interventions such as Black Girls Code, an organization focused on teaching young African American girls to program, are underway to help women and minorities get into the industry.

#9

The problems of big data go beyond misrepresentation. They include decision-making protocols that favor corporate elites and the powerful, and they are implicated in global economic and social inequality.
