You know, I'm sick and tired of all these "Web 2.0" companies shirking their responsibilities. Uber doesn't "offer rides", it's just a "marketplace". AirBnB doesn't offer short-term rentals, it's just a "marketplace".

Face it: Facebook offers the option to exclude people based on race. This is wrong. Period. Race is one of the protected categories, and you cannot discriminate (or give preferential treatment to) based just on race.

Does this extend to all ad targeting in general? For example, targeted advertiseing for tampons, African hair products, Spanish language stuff etc.
