Facebook-parent Meta will remove the ability to target ads based on sensitive categories

Facebook-parent Meta will remove the ability to target ads based on sensitive categories

CNN
Wednesday, November 10, 2021 12:43 AM GMT

Meta, the company formerly known as Facebook, said Tuesday it plans to limit advertisers' ability to target users based on certain sensitive categories. Starting next year, it will remove thousands of "Detailed Targeting" keywords to target ads to specific users in categories such as health, race or ethnicity, political affiliation, religion and sexual orientation.

Targeted advertising has long been central to the company's massive digital ads business. But for years, Facebook has faced criticism for allowing highly specific targeting that could, for example, allow advertisers to direct racist ads to users based on their activity on its platforms. In 2019, Facebook settled several lawsuits that alleged its advertising platform allowed for discrimination in housing, employment and credit ads. As part of the settlement, it set up a new portal for such ads. Tuesday's announcement marks the broadest action the company has taken yet to address concerns related to ad targeting.

In a blog post Tuesday, Meta (FB) vice president of product marketing for ads Graham Mudd said the move is a "difficult decision" made to "better match people's evolving expectations of how advertisers may reach them on our platform and address feedback from civil rights experts, policymakers and other stakeholders on the importance of preventing advertisers from abusing the targeting options we make available."
