| Summary: | Library classification systems, like the Google algorithm, are shaped by the dominant systems of power we are accustomed to exploring as cultural studies scholars, but some of their power lies in how decision-making around algorithmic design remain invisible, proprietary and unaccountable. Here, Noble considers the cultural and economic context of the pornographic representations found in Google searches for "black girls". To close, and in line with the creative and critical visions of those working in the area of design justice ([2]), Noble proposes a model for a transparent and ethics based search engine that captures the multiplicity of sources and perspectives in information provision.
