        @versharma why is it necessarily exclusive? maybe it's use for specific targeting purposes relevant to the groups in question

        Is it not also "massively illegal" for you to have made & paid for this ad in the first place?

        Did you read the article? Do you know it was a housing ad? Are you familiar with the law?

        Demographic targeting should not be illegal. But it looks impossible to exclusively target asians, blacks using this interface.

        Would be clearly illegal in France for instance, but seems more legitimate in the U.S.

        I know that FB are very firm that it is not by actual race, but by pages etc that correlate with racial cultural interests

        indeed it's shocking; but, given that collection of data on race is normal in US, how could this be impeded? @ProPublica @TerreformUR

        @Thesixler So that's what the appeal of Mad Men was? Here I was thinking it was about marketing, turns out it was whistleblowing
