HUD said Facebook also restricted who could see housing- related ads based on national origin, religion, familial status, sex and disability. The social media giant said last week it would create a new advertising portal for ads linked to housing and employment that would limit targeting options for advertisers.

Interested to see how this will impact realestate pros' willingness to spend on Facebook. We've been hearing about an entirely different Housings Ads platform in development, but it's too little too late in this case.

I don’t get the discrimination part of this. I mean, I get the discriminating part but not the negative connotation “discrimination” part. How is this any different than, let’s say, Dockers slacks deciding not to advertise on BET? Sure, it’s super sketch, but how is it illegal?

Can Facebook do 'ANYTHING' RIGHT!!!

No surprise here.

What if racial discrimination is based on real statistics? Should we ignore reality?

Class action coming

Facebook keeps taking Ls

Thanks

What a surprise Zucker is rootin for Putin too

HUD charges Facebook with housing discrimination over its targeted advertising platformThe U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development said Thursday it is alleging that Facebook’s targeted advertising platform violates the Fair Housing Act by “encouraging, enabling, and causing” unlawful discrimination by restricting who can view housing ads. This is a developing story. It will be updated. How all-powerful can these big, scary, liberal, tech giants be if we still gotta patsy CPP nationalist in the white house after american majority voted Hillary Clinton?🙄 FB also allows discriminatory advertising for employment ads. Reminder - Trump was guilty of the same (but not for advertising).
