"Housing advocacy groups, including the National Fair Housing Alliance, filed a lawsuit in federal court this week alleging that Facebook has not done enough to prevent anyone buying housing ads from discriminating against protected groups, despite Facebook's repeated promises to address the issue.

The nonprofit investigative news organization ProPublica reported in 2016 that Facebook's advertising platform gives companies the option to exclude who would see ads based on the users' race. The reporters were able to purchase an ad targeted to Facebook users who were house hunting and were able to exclude anyone with an "affinity" for African-American, Asian-American or Hispanic people."
