FILE- In this March 29, 2018, file photo, the logo for Facebook appears on screens at the Nasdaq MarketSite in New York's Times Square. Facebook is facing housing discrimination charges from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, which says its targeted advertising platform violates the Fair Housing Act. HUD claims Facebook’s ad platform was “encouraging, enabling, and causing housing discrimination.
The claim Thursday from HUD comes less than a week after Facebook said it would overhaul its ad-targeting systems to prevent, credit and employment ads as part of a legal settlement with a group that includes the American Civil Liberties Union, the National Fair Housing Alliance and others. HUD claims Facebook’s ad platform is “encouraging, enabling, and causing housing discrimination” because it allows advertisers to exclude people who they don’t want to see their ads. 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.
What hypocrites.
So another reason to have regulations on social media platforms!!
Lol why do people still use this crap
For the billionth time, why is anybody still on Facebook?
Didn't they promise that, like, 4 years ago?

Wow.

Facebook is toxic to society
My god; Zuck made em all look dumb and now they are attacking him.
Well, I guess they should go ahead and plead guilty. Pay their fine, because they will be fined. Make it billions, that will teach them.

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).
