I don't see the problem with adds that are targeted to a specific age group or other characteristics of a person, and I am talking about the adds that pop up in my timeline or on the right side panel. But if I actively search for a job and it is hidden from me because I am not in the target audience then yes, that is discrimination.

Ex: I am 25, male, Java developer, I don't want to be bombarded by adds about nursing jobs or adds about nail polish , but if I type in the search bar :"nursing jobs in <myArea>" then I want all nursing jobs in my area and the same thing about nail polish.
