Yesterday the social media giant responded with a blog post outlining its plans to remove more than 5,000 ad targeting options in an attempt to prevent advertisers from discriminating against its users, in relation to religion or ethnicity. > The platform has promised to remove most options from the “exclusion” category that could be used to discriminate and according to Buzzfeed, these options will be removed by this fall.
