Nearly everything is correlated with race or protected social status. For instance, it is farcical to be able to target advertisements on Facebook Likes, but not on race. These systems will discriminate on racial proxies, and the question is if you are ok with that, not if those features happen to be legally allowed.
- mc32 7y agoOk but that’s like saying robberies are correlated with mobility. Sure, but that doesn’t mean we’re discriminating because they are mobile.
- doublekill 7y agoI do not follow you, so I think you do not follow me. Robbers or mobility are not protected classes.
- mc32 7y agoSeniors are a protected class (age discrimination) just because they are old doesn’t mean when we find out that they’re seniors are going to discount them (so long as we’re not targeting “age”).
