#Facebook can be sued over biased #ad algorithm, says court
An appeals court found #Section230 (which protects online platforms from legal liability if users post illegal content) doesn’t prevent Facebook from getting sued for allegedly having a #discriminatory ad algorithm. Court concluded that the case "adequately" alleges that Facebook "knew insurance advertisers intentionally targeted its #ads based on users' age and gender" in violation of the Unruh Civil Rights Act.

Alabama Shows Our Country Hasn’t Changed - Democracy Docket

Today, Republicans up and down the ballot openly oppose voting rights. Every single House Republican voted against the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act, which would have reversed the Shelby County decision and restored preclearance to states, like Alabama, that clearly still need it.

Instead of Republican leaders in Congress voting to reauthorize the #VRA and affirming the need for fair maps and voting laws, the current leadership is actively using these states’ discriminatory practices for their political gain.

Last week, House Speaker Kevin McCarthy called Alabama to urge the state to #defy the court’s order for fear that a second majority-Black district could swing control of the House.

As we watch to see what the court does in #Alabama, let’s pay just as much attention to states like #Florida, #Georgia, #Louisiana, #South #Carolina and #Texas.

Without oversight from the federal government this time around, and without enough time before the 2022 midterm elections, these states ended up with #discriminatory #electoral #maps that shouldn’t have been enacted in the first place.

Only took about 24hrs before a #racist left a comment on my post about the #Manitoba #Government refusing to search the landfill for remains of #Indigenous #women. They claimed that we just can't do this search, and that the confession of the #SerialKiller doesn't matter. Racist #Canadians will literally stop at nothing to continue to uphold the #discriminatory #system that they benefit from.

Before working in #HealthCare I knew that #SystemicDiscrimination is a massive issue in the entire industry. But I was blown away by how #discriminatory many of those employed in the field are. A white nurse told me that #Indigenous people were more #racist towards white people than vice versa. When I challenged her she was completely unaware of the realities Indigenous people still face in #Canada. Management also did not care when I brought this up and instances of #transphobia I experienced.
