      "Jew-hater" is the iceberg's tip. In minutes, @Slate found 18 similarly hateful categories on FB's targeting tool. http://www.slate.com/blogs/future_tense/2017/09/14/facebook_let_advertisers_target_jew_haters_it_doesn_t_end_there.html …pic.twitter.com/hq0vfcSnjh

          The algorithm's implicit premise is that FB will help advertisers reach (or exclude) any group they want, no matter how vile.

          And the fact that Facebook has responded to multiple exposés with ad hoc patches shows they don't care enough to fix the underlying problem.
