"The neutralizing and cloaking of power & hierarchy is a familiar story, yet for a variety of reasons we will discuss, the dangers of its embedding in new, unregulated technologies presents a threat of rolling back hard fought gains." - @sandylocks #HerDreamDeferred

.@heytranae retelling the story of her and her neighbors' resistance to the use of facial recognition in their building in Brooklyn:

"We felt it would be a tool to get us out of these units. They know that we are not leaving." #HerDreamDeferred

“We still have the old school type of discrimination, but racism and other systems of inequality have also evolved and become more subtle and coded literally into our technical systems," says @ruha9

“We have to be able to discern [discriminatory design] and see it, so that we can counteract it, resist it, and create a world in which security is not conflated with safety.” - @ruha9.

“We’ve heard of the male gaze, we’ve heard of the white gaze— the reason I articulated the ‘coded gaze’ was trying to find language to help people see what was going on and who was being rendered invisible.” - @jovialjoy

One area where algorithms are being used discriminatorily?

Vote suppression.

#HerDreamDeferred @jovialjoy

"Even if [these algorithms] worked “fairly” across groups and affected all groups equally, they would still be very harmful," says @ruha9. "They still have this element of social control and suppression that I think we have to think about."
