HUD claims Facebook's ad platform was "encouraging, enabling, and causing housing discrimination." The agency said Facebook technology illegally restricts who can view housing-related ads on its platforms and across the internet. It also claims Facebook gathers extensive data about its users and then uses that data to determine which users view housing-related ads.
