I am not aware of an ad platform that enables you target ads so specifically and in such an effective way. Sure, you could advertise in Maxim to reach heterosexual young males but that doesn't mean your ad is completely invisible to someone else who happens to pickup the magazine. Before Facebook ads were targeted. Facebook ads are exclusionary. While that is valuable and appropriate in some situations it is not in others. I don't suggest we make some law against it but hopefully bringing awareness to this phenomenon will encourage people to stop using Facebook and the like, or at least not give them detailed information about themselves.

Well I'm thinking based on what I've seen in this thread is that it is already illegal, although rarely enforced. I do understand being unaware that positions are available harming people looking for those positions. I'm thinking it would be easy for Facebook to just exclude job ads from certain types of targeting. Is this ad for an employment opportunity? Yes, No. Targeting restrictions apply. What gets me though is the anger and hypocrisy that I see. People are very willing to mob against Facebook, while many ads and business hiring practices are already breaking these laws.
