The Department of Housing and Urban Development on charged Facebook with violating fair housing laws by enabling discrimination on its advertising platform and confirmed that it is also examining Twitter and Google’s ad-targeting practices
by the agency in August. Multiple outside probes have found Facebook's ad-targeting capabilities let advertisers exclude people by gender, race, ethnicity and other categories.
“Even as we confront new technologies, the fair housing laws enacted over half a century ago remain clear — discrimination in housing-related advertising is against the law,” HUD General Counsel Paul Compton said. “Just because a process to deliver advertising is opaque and complex doesn’t mean that it exempts Facebook and others from our scrutiny and the law of the land,” Compton added.
A Twitter spokesperson said the company "doesn't allow discriminatory advertising on our platform. Someone using Twitter to advertise agrees to comply with the law and not use our services for illegal activities. Discrimination in housing and employment is against the law and against our rules."
