Credit Card Ads Targeted by Age, Violating Facebook’s Anti-Discrimination Policy

FB actually has a really strict automated blocker on ads it thinks are in protected categories. Regular ads get flagged falsely all the time. So if FB missed some it's not for lack of trying.

If they have billions at their disposal, then that sounds a bit lame. Just trying shouldn't be enough.

Billions dont solve hard problems at scale. People and investment over time do.

This is why we don't have fully automated self driving cars or cancer cured even with billions invested.

Okay then - without running afoul of Gödel's incompleteness theorems list everything they need to cover without errors.

There are few things more annoying to engineers than the Dunning-Kreugers who treat inability to do the literal impossible of being malace and assume "more than me" means infinite.
