1020: Undercount of Color

Facebook, Fair Housing Lawsuit

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.
