A HUD news release Friday said that Facebook's tools, while not explicitly mentioning race, disabilities or family size, allow all of that and more for advertisers interested in targeting certain groups while excluding others from housing offers. Such groups included people interested in "assistance dog," "mobility scooter" or "deaf culture." The advertising tools also allowed offers to exclude people interested in "child care" or "parenting," or to target people based on their stated interest in Christianity, Hinduism or the Bible. Ads could also be tailored based on user ZIP codes, the HUD release said.
