Racial Bias in Meta's Educational Ads Algorithms
A study by researchers from Princeton University and USC suggests that Meta's algorithms for educational ads show signs of racial bias, favoring for-profit universities with predatory practices to black users. This raises concerns about discrimination beyond housing, employment, and credit. Meta settled a previous lawsuit with HUD over discriminatory housing ads in 2022.
