The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development is suing Facebook over what it claims are “discriminatory” advertising practices.
The Trump administration charged Facebook on Thursday with"discrimination" in its advertising practices for housing.
"[Facebook] holds out its advertising platform as a powerful resource for advertisers in many industries, including housing and housing-related services," the complaint says. But,"because of the way [Facebook] designed its advertising platform, ads for housing and housing-related services are shown to large audiences that are severely biased."
"Facebook is discriminating against people based upon who they are and where they live," HUD Secretary Ben Carson added in a statement."Using a computer to limit a person's housing choices can be just as discriminatory as slamming a door in someone's face." Facebook also pointed to a blog post published last week, in which the company said the advertising overhaul marked an important step for the platform and thanked the civil rights organizations that helped improve the ad tools.
