I would do this before I deleted my Facebook account when I ran ads not to intentionally exclude people but because I figured people over a certain age probably wouldn't know the technologies I was looking for and I figured I would probably end up paying for false positive ad clicks
- loeg 9y ago> because I figured people over a certain age probably wouldn't know the technologies I was looking for This is precisely the kind of age discrimination the law is intended to prevent.
- iak8god 9y agoYep. I was hoping that sentence would end with "because I figured people over a certain age probably wouldn't be interested in entry-level positions," and I was prepared to think that was an interesting point.
- Consultant32452 9y agoWhy would that be any less discriminatory?
- iak8god 9y agoIt wouldn't really, but it would be significantly less douche-y, because it would ultimately be based in a less disparaging view of older job seekers.
- fpisfun 9y agoIt is factual that certain technologies are more used by certain demographics. If someone has a very small ad budget I don't understand why they should be forced to display ads to a demographic less likely to know the technology.
