Facebook sued over 'discriminatory' house and job adverts

 Facebook is facing legal action over alleged bias in its housing and employment ads.

The claim, brought by a group of Facebook users, alleges the platform's "ethnic affinity" option is racially biased.
The option is there to enable marketers to exclude certain demographics and target others.
Facebook said the lawsuit was "utterly without merit" and that it would defend itself "vigorously".
The lawsuit was filed in Northern California with the lead plaintiff named as Suzanne-Juliette Mobley, according to the Courthouse News Service. It also names up to 9,999 defendants as advertisers who allegedly "used Facebook's platform to discriminate based on race, gender, national origin and other protected attributes".
It claims that allowing advertisers to block users from seeing ads based on these groups is in violation of the Fair Housing Act and the Civil Rights Act.
The 14-page lawsuit adds that there is no option to exclude the demographic of "white or Caucasian Americans from the target audience".

Empowerment tool

Facebook told Courthouse News that the lawsuit was without merit.
A spokesman later told the BBC: "We are committed to providing people with quality ad experiences, which includes helping people see messages that are both relevant to the cultural communities they are interested in and have content that reflects or represents their communities - not just generic content that's targeted to mass audiences.
"We believe that multicultural advertising should be a tool for empowerment. We take a strong stand against advertisers misusing our platform: our policies prohibit using our targeting options to discriminate, and they require compliance with the law. We take prompt enforcement action when we determine that ads violate our policies."
Public interest website Pro Publica led an investigation into the claims last month, creating adverts for the housing market that excluded African Americans, Asian Americans and Hispanics.
When they showed the adverts to civil rights lawyer John Relman he concluded that they were "as blatant a violation of the federal Fair Housing Act as one can find".
In a blogpost, Facebook's head of multicultural, Christian Martinez said: "Living in the US, most of the advertising that I see in traditional media is targeted to people in the majority - people who don't look like me, who don't speak Spanish, and who may not share my experience.
"The experience of ads constantly reminding you that you're different from the majority is incredibly marginalising, and it's not right."
He added that companies offering "multicultural advertising options" allows people to find content that is relevant to them.

WATCH: Turkish man kills himself live on Facebook after girlfriend dumps him

An absolute horrific 40 seconds video was streamed online yesterday, October 10, showing a heartbroken Turkish man shoot himself live on Facebook after getting dumped by girlfriend.

Erdogan Ceren who is only just 22 year old, held a camera alongside a short gun to his chest saying no one believed him, when he said he was going to take his own life, and eventually shot himself.

Before killing himself, Erdogan had initially documented his shattered emotions online, with one of his post on Facebook saying: 'Feeling broken' along with the words, 'Our love saga would be written, ‘Behold, the eyes would not cry, half of you is going to tell you now, my hands do without that side.'

Mark Zuckerberg 'deeply disappointed' as SpaceX explosion blew up $200m Facebook satellite

The SpaceX rocket that exploded on the launch pad at Cape Canaveral also blew up a pricey Facebook satellite it was supposed to deliver into orbit, leaving social network company boss Mark Zuckerberg "deeply disappointed."
The four-minute-long explosion occurred as the 604-ton Falcon 9 rocket was being fuelled with a powerful mixture of liquid oxygen and rocket-grade kerosene propellant for test firing before its weekend launch.The cause of the blast is still unknown and is being investigated, according to a tweet by SpaceX CEO Elon Musk. He described it as a "fast fire, not an explosion."
No one was injured in the blast, which SpaceX referred to as an "anomaly."

The rocket's payload was a $200m satellite — called Amos 6 and owned by Israeli company Space Communications or Spacecom — to be used by Facebook to bring Internet access to remote villages in Africa, the Middle East and Europe. The operation also involved French satellite firm Eutelsat Communications.

"I'm deeply disappointed to hear that SpaceX's launch failure destroyed our satellite," Zuckerberg wrote in a post while traveling in Africa. He noted that the satellite "would have provided connectivity to so many entrepreneurs and everyone else across the continent".
Zuckerberg said other technologies are in the works to boost Internet access, adding: "We will keep working until everyone has the opportunities this satellite would have provided." Facebook already completed its first successful experimental flight in June of Aquila, an unmanned, solar-powered plane that will also be used to beam the Internet into remote areas.
Launch Complex 40, where the blast occurred, is an Air Force facility which has been leased to SpaceX, reported CNNMoney. The company has launched 25 rockets from the site since 2010.
Nasa's facilities at Cape Canaveral were not damaged by the blast and none of the planned Nasa flights have been affected.
"Today's SpaceX incident — while not a Nasa launch — reminds us that spaceflight is challenging," Nasa tweeted. "Our partners learn from each success and setback."

The fallout for Musk and Zuckerberg remains to be seen and industry analysts believe the explosion will likely delay space launches.
"It's clear there will be some sort of delay," Phil Smith, senior space analyst at the Tauri Group, told the Los Angeles Times.
The blast — the second Falcon 9 failure in 14 months — could also be a setback to Musk's efforts to prove that his company can safely launch and reuse rockets. SpaceX just announced that it had signed its first customer to launch a satellite with a reused booster.
And it recently landed its first big Pentagon job — an $83m contract from the Air Force to launch a global positioning system satellite in 2018.
The blast came just as Musk was also set to announce Tesla Autopilot improvements in the wake of a fatal crash in Florida in May. He is now delaying that announcement. Meanwhile, he is also trying to finance a $2.4bn deal for Tesla to acquire SolarCity.
Tesla shares fell 5.3% Thursday to $200.11.
As for Facebook, it was the first attempt by the company's Internet.org initiative to deliver Internet signals from space. The Amos 6 was a total loss.
The satellite's manufacturer, Israel Aerospace Industries, took out an insurance policy on the Amos 6 worth its total cost, a source told the Times. It is estimated to be worth at least $200m, while the cost of launching and operating it for a year is believed to be $85m.
But the policy covers transit and pre-launch processing of the satellite from the factory to the launch site. Spacecom's insurance policy does not cover risk of loss until the actual launch.
