This story made international privacy legal news. It is expected to cost Facebook - Zuckerberg HUGELY. EU and other nation's governments around the world have been very anti-Facebook in large part because of privacy issues, citizen's data security, and it's censorship algorithms. This story proves the disturbing truth that Facebook engages in racial profiling, and overt biased discriminatory practices, inspire of Facebook's claim that their mission is to unify people across the globe.

They are going to pay for this dearly. Bring the popcorn..

You don’t understand, it’s perfectly OK for liberals to discriminate, it’s only when a conservative does it that it becomes wrong.

If I’m advertising for my proverbial bakery then it might be nice to exclude the faggots from receiving my ads.

Recommended reading about abuses of big data algorithms that make the wrong assumptions:

The Uses And Misuses Of ‘Big Data’: A Conversation

http://www.forbes.com/sites/valleyvoices/2016/05/06/the-uses-and-misuses-of-big-data-a-conversation/#7427de1862e0

“data should work in service of human beings, not the other way around.”

Weapons of Math Destruction: How Big Data Increases Inequality and Threatens Democracy

https://www.amazon.com/Weapons-Math-Destruction-Increases-Inequality/dp/0553418815#productDescription_secondary_view_div_1477683482352

“O’Neil is an ideal person to write this book. She is an academic mathematician turned Wall Street quant turned data scientist who has been involved in Occupy Wall Street and recently started an algorithmic auditing company. She is one of the strongest voices speaking out for limiting the ways we allow algorithms to influence our lives… While  Weapons of Math Destruction is full of hard truths and grim statistics, it is also accessible and even entertaining. O’Neil’s writing is direct and easy to read—I devoured it in an afternoon.”
— Scientific American

“Cathy O’Neil has seen Big Data from the inside, and the picture isn’t pretty. Weapons of Math Destruction opens the curtain on algorithms that exploit people and distort the truth while posing as neutral mathematical tools. This book is wise, fierce, and desperately necessary.”
— Jordan Ellenberg, University of Wisconsin-Madison, author of How Not To Be Wrong

“O’Neil has become [a whistle-blower] for the world of Big Data… [in] her important new book… Her work makes particularly disturbing points about how being on the wrong side of an algorithmic decision can snowball in incredibly destructive ways.”
—TIME

I used Facebook for advertising my business.
I did not know that people did not KNOW this.
