Employers including Capital One and Edward Jones violated federal law when they used Facebook ads to exclude workers based on their age or gender or both, says the federal agency that enforces laws prohibiting workplace discrimination.
New York Seven employers, including Capital One and car rental company Enterprise, violated federal law when they used Facebook ads to exclude workers based on their age, gender or both, according to rulings from the federal agency that enforces laws prohibiting workplace discrimination.
In letters sent to each company -- released by the labor union Communications Workers of America late Tuesday -- the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission said it found"reasonable cause" that the employer violated federal laws by excluding women, older workers or both from seeing their job ads on Facebook. The social network offers advertisers various tools for targeting their desired audience. The ads are from 2018 and earlier. Facebook has pledged changes since then.
