Facebook belatedly makes it harder to run some discriminatory ads

Namely, the company will no longer allow advertisers to discriminate when it comes to housing, jobs, or credit advertisements that run on the social media platform.

To put it another way, organizations such as the ACLU and the National Fair Housing Alliance sued Facebook following news that its targeted advertising tools allowed, for example, those posting job listings to only target young male Facebook users.

It's important to note that going forward Facebook will enact a structural change in an effort to prevent malicious actors from gaming its all-too-easily gamed system.
