Facebook settles five lawsuits alleging that its ad systems enabled discrimination in housing, credit and employment.

For the social network, that’s one major legal problem down, several to go, including government investigations in the U.S. and Europe over its data and privacy practices.

facebook —i am still awaiting them releasing data, whom was affected by their breach with the russians and their bots...

A slap on the wrist and the beat goes...money..money...money.

Should make Zuckerberg change the name of his hospital. Maybe it won't be such a joke. I went in for antibiotics but got harassed by cops in the ER. I was so upset by this mistreatment that I left. Of course he named it after himself. His company is just as disrespectful.

If she can be found, Meredith McIver would be a TREASURE TROVE of info – she wrote Trump’s emails for him for years and has “heard everything, and taken good notes” says Trump. And if she CAN’T be found, then that’s an even bigger story - about the failure of the press in ’16

I'm confused by anyone confused by how much Facebook has taken control. Watch the Facebook movie 1 more time. Is Zuckerberg a kind, generous and moral character... or greedy, aloof, mean & corrupted 20 something with a chip on his shoulder? And now?

Wait, let me guess; they're fined. No other ramifications, except they'll past the cost on to their advertisers. Boy, I wish I had 💰 to get away with stuff too.

Why does anyone still use Facebook? It’s so ridiculous.

Did the discriminated get any benefits?
