Quote 1: We're building a dystopia just to make people click on ads - Zeynep Tufekci
"every status update you ever typed, every Messenger conversation, every place you logged in from, all the photographs that you uploaded there. If you start typing something and change your mind and delete it, Facebook keeps those and analyzes them, too. Increasingly, it tries to match you with your offline data. It also purchases a lot of data from data brokers. It could be everything from your financial records to a good chunk of your browsing history"
Quote 2: Challenging the Algorithms of Oppression- Safiya Noble
"The last thing I want to say is that we have more data and technology than ever, and we have more inequality and injustice to go with it. All of the latest reports on economic inequality show us that globally, inequality is on the rise".
