This was only posible because civil rights groups suing under longstanding antidiscrimination laws made it happen. https://t.co/FUt92V1RNX

For too long, Facebook has skirted federal law prohibiting discrimination in housing, employment, & credit ads. Only after ACLU, NFHA, & CWA took them to task did Facebook finally decide to take simple steps to stop illegal discrimination on its platform. https://t.co/vc304hltVi

Thread alert. Facebook’s changes to its ad targeting system are a huge win for civil rights.

I want to tell a story about how that a few journalists helped that change came about - it’s a story of curiosity, persistence, teamwork, tips and expertise. /1 https://t.co/GqSvQxeDVf

BREAKING: We and other civil rights and fair housing groups have reached a historic settlement with @Facebook.

The tech giant will take long overdue steps to prevent advertisers from discriminating when sending job, housing, and credit ads. https://t.co/z9EvwX2wvW

Controversial opinion: despite all the hype, Facebook (and Google) will eventually realize that their "targeted" advertising works terribly anyway, and was never as revolutionary as they made it out to be. https://t.co/bGQetrKPp4

Facebook said that anyone advertising housing, jobs or credit — three areas where federal law prohibits discrimination in ads — would no longer have the option to explicitly aim ads at people on the basis of race, gender or age group. https://t.co/hgNiDUzJYZ

In 2016, Facebook also got busted for running ads that violated civil rights guidelines.
Seems like someone should hold them accountable for helping wreck Democracy, too. https://t.co/MmJs16jgF2

Will FB honor the settlement like it « honored » the @FTC consent decree??

This is an important change in Facebook’s ad-targeting system. But it’s a little disheartening that it took years of investigative journalism and legal advocacy for Facebook to make it. https://t.co/c3uldN7NiX

주택, 취업, 신용과 관련된 광고를 타게팅하면 비슷한 이들만 모은 모델 커뮤니티를 만들 수 있겠지요.
게다가 사람들의 행동과 삶의 궤적이 아닌 생래(生來)적 속성 등으로 구분하는 타겟 기술이라면 진짜 차별이 될 수 있지요. 광고가 아니라 혜택일 수도 있으니 말입니다 https://t.co/WJ27eP0iH4
