Topic: Fair Housing

A comparison is drawn between 1960s fair housing laws and modern social media deplatforming. Victor Davis Hanson notes that the Supreme Court previously rejected the idea that private entities could bar individuals from essential services based on their status. The argument posits that the left is now using "racist reactionary tropes" to justify excluding political opponents from digital platforms.

Facebook faces a new lawsuit from fair housing groups alleging that its targeted advertising tools allow brokers to discriminate against African-Americans and single women. The hosts argue that the very nature of targeted advertising is to exclude certain demographics to reach a specific audience. They suggest that if the lawsuit succeeds, it could undermine the fundamental business model of digital advertising.
