Facebook Adjusts Ad Targeting

Description

Facebook is under fire again after the company allowed housing and jobs ads to target users based on personal factors like gender and age. Now Facebook is removing a great deal of ad targeting categories that civil rights organizations called discriminatory. Digital Trends reports that advertisers running ads in categories for housing, employment, and credit will no longer have targeting options for age, gender, or zip code.
