Economic loss

Financial harms [52, 160] co-produced through algorithmic systems, especially as they relate to lived experiences of poverty and economic inequality... demonetization algorithms that parse content titles, metadata, and text, and it may penalize words with multiple meanings [51, 81], disproportionately impacting queer, trans, and creators of color [81]. Differential pricing algorithms, where people are systematically shown different prices for the same products, also leads to economic loss [55]. These algorithms may be especially sensitive to feedback loops from existing inequities related to education level, income, and race, as these inequalities are likely reflected in the criteria algorithms use to make decisions [22, 163].
