Google Has a Striking History of Bias Against Black Girls
I like the underlying question that the author brings up - what&#x27;s google algorithm, and who&#x27;s responsible for it?<p>In the old days it was &quot;most linked page with those keywords,&quot; right? So if you searched &quot;gay man&quot; and got a bunch of gay porn, is it necessarily google&#x27;s fault that the internet is more gay porn that it is resources for gay men to discuss LGBT issues? Is it google&#x27;s fault that news agencies more typically report on crime by black people than white (or that black people are more likely to be convinced&#x2F;arrested in the first place?)<p>I think Google <i>is</i> responsible in 2018, now that they offer extremely tailored results. Duckduckgo, maybe not. But if Google is going to say &quot;we&#x27;re going to show you listings for restaurants in SF in your simple &#x27;restaurants&#x27; search because we know you live in SF,&quot; I think they should also say &quot;we&#x27;re going to show you results for LGBT resources when you search for &#x27;gay men&#x27; because nothing about your query indicates a desire for pornographic content.&quot;
