Facebook faces 'systemic' probe into alleged racial discrimination in hiring practices: Report
Fox News
The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission has classified an ongoing probe of alleged racial discrimination in Facebook’s hiring practices as “systemic,” according to a report on Friday.
The EEOC has designated its probe as "systemic," meaning it has reason to suspect that Facebook’s internal practices may have contributed to widespread discrimination beyond the scope of the complaints, Reuters reported. Systemic probes are relatively rare and involve more agency resources than typical investigations. The EEOC did not immediately respond to a request for comment. To date, the agency has not charged Facebook with any wrongdoing. Facebook spokesman Andy Stone declined Reuters’ request for comment on the allegations. However, he said Facebook considers it "essential to provide all employees with a respectful and safe working environment."More Related News
