This means Google violates civil rights law by maintaining a list of phrenological behavior based on racial, sexual, and demographic data.
Advertisers choosing videos to show up in also means selecting which videos to filter out. This means Google has a list of acceptable behavior for blacks, gays, and women to perform such filtering.
- EpicEng 8y ago>This means Google violates civil rights law Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't believe sexual orientation is a protected class. Are there other statuses which would make this behavior illegal? Obviously IANAL and don't really know what I'm talking about here.
- jrhurst 8y agoI think OPs jump in logic means if you can filter ads on sexual orientation then the same tooling can be use to attack protected classes.
- EpicEng 8y agoPerhaps, though they are lumping in "sexual [orientation]" with race and gender. I also unaware of any cases of potential violations against a protected class.
