Facebook hasn't fixed its discriminatory housing ads problem, lawsuit claims
Housing groups said they were able to publish ads on the social network that excluded women, disabled veterans, and other large groups.

Facebook still allows for discriminatory housing advertisements despite past promises to remove tools that allow landlords and brokers to exclude certain groups of people from seeing their listings, a new lawsuit claims.

The lawsuit alleges that the social media giant gives housing advertisers the option to "exclude families with children and women from receiving advertisements, as well as users with interests based on disability and national origin. Then Facebook approves and permits advertisers to publish these ads in a discriminatory manner without consumers ever knowing they have been excluded."

The suit, filed Tuesday in federal court in New York City, comes more than a year after ProPublica, a nonprofit investigative news organization, revealed that advertisers could use Facebook to target housing ads so they were seen by only white people — a violation of federal fair housing rules.

Facebook vowed after the October 2016 ProPublica report that it would crack down on discrimination in ads for housing, employment, and credit. But more than a year later, ProPublica found that it was still possible to buy rental housing ads that excluded certain groups, such as black people, mothers of high school kids and Jewish people.

Facebook did not immediately respond to a request for comment from NBC News regarding the allegations.

I don’t think we’ve even scratched the surface of Zuck the Fuck’s perfidious schemes to milk his ‘social’ platform for all its worth. And it’s now apparent that his ‘word’ means absolutely nothing. The government best make damn sure that he does ‘fix’ this mess.
