seems important that a lot of that work was previously done by Black activists + scholars pointing out how people are tracked/documented by the state, shadow banned (e.g. sex workers), repressed or erased by racist algorithms & platforms working directly with cops/the state. https://twitter.com/ivieani/status/1310305887299538945
but then the social dilemma featured mostly cis/white/men in tech talking about how the things they'd built (with the best of intentions, but also to monetize!) had a dark side that Black folks/other oppressed groups have been talking about + experiencing directly.
I really enjoyed Algorithms of Oppression by Safiya Umoja Noble ( @safiyanoble) because it put into words a whole set of frustrating experiences around how Blackness is represented online and what that means growing up Black.
