Facebook is making changes to its ethnic affinity marketing solution, which gives brands a way to reach multicultural audiences with more relevant advertising. Facebook will disable the use of ethnic affinity marketing for ads that we identify as offering housing, employment, or credit. We will update our Advertising Policies to be even more explicit and require advertisers to affirm that they will not engage in discriminatory advertising on Facebook. We look forward to finding additional ways to combat discrimination, while increasing opportunity, and to continuing our dialogue with policymakers and civil rights leaders.”]
