Eli Pariser on Discrimination - Dictionary of Arguments
I 137 Discrimination/Software/Pariser: Problem: a software that, for example, examines a company's hiring practices and randomly picks out nine white persons could specify that this company is not interested in hiring persons of color and filter them out from the outset. (1) This problem is called "over-adjustment" among programmers. I 139 Over-adjustment/Pariser: becomes a central and irreducible problem of the filter bubble, because over-adjustment and stereotyping are synonymous here. I 140 Such stereotypes can cause your creditworthiness to be downgraded because your friends do not pay their debts on time. 1. Dalton Conley, Elsewhere, U. S. A.: How We Got from the Company Man, Family Dinners, and the Affluent Society to the Home Office, BlackBerry Moms, and Economic Anxiety, New York: Pantheon, 2008, S. 164._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
