This paper uses a theory of oppression to ground and extend algorithmic oppression. Algorithmic oppression is then situated through a Black feminist lens part of which entails highlighting the double bind of technology. To reconcile algorithmic oppression with respect to the fairness, accountability, and transparency community, I critique the language of the community. Lastly, I place algorithmic oppression in a broader conversation of feminist science, technology, and society studies to ground the discussion of ways forward through abolition and empowering marginalized communities.
