> Facebook isn't discriminating

This feels like a technicality - Facebook is overtly enabling, perhaps even encouraging discrimination.

And profiting from it.

The HUD press release contains the following text, which is pretty damning:

>Additionally, Facebook promotes its advertising targeting platform for housing purposes with "success stories" for finding "the perfect homeowners," "reaching home buyers," "attracting renters" and "personalizing property ads."

Yowzers!!

Is this sarcasm? Legitimate question because I don't see what the issue with these statements are.
