Discriminatory pricing should be illegal.

Discriminatory pricing driven by black box algorithms with observable biases should be criminal.

I am one of the organizers of a huge annual international academic conference. This year it's in the U.S.

I don't think I can, in good conscience, recommend that any of our international members attend.

Dear nostr:npub1lyqjz2k6t0jkxyewwwupfugsuej7wucn9xzawgzdleqhq3xm27nq5pc6u4, please don't legitimize the racist BS of a guy who writes spurious books about how people with different colored skin than him are inherently stupider than he is by giving him the ink to tout a disproven theory of criminology that's been responsible for widespread civil rights abuses.

Instead, maybe run an op-Ed by actual scholars who have analyzed actual data. Like these folks: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S027795361830649X
