Google does get to decide it for advertising and that is their bread and butter

  No, they don’t. The job advertisements you’re describing would be very clearly illegal. http://www.eeoc.gov/prohibited-employment-policiespractices http://www.eeoc.gov/prohibited-employment-policiespractices > It is illegal for an employer to publish a job advertisement that shows a preference for or discourages someone from applying for a job because of his or her race, color, religion, sex (including gender identity, sexual orientation, and pregnancy)… > It is also illegal for an employer to recruit new employees in a way that discriminates against them because of their race, color, religion, sex (including gender identity, sexual orientation, and pregnancy)…

    For advertising they do - stop arguing against a point that isn’t being made. Posting job listings isn’t their ‘bread and butter’.

      Sorry, I didn’t realize you were talking about advertising in general. But for the record, job listings are advertisements — they are indeed part of Google’s “bread and butter”.

      Job advertisements are a type of advertisement and are what is being talked about here. General advertisement has nothing to do with the OP article, isn't legislated the same, and nobody is surprised about demographic limiting general advertisement.

        My whole point in the original thread was - I wonder if this will spill out into general advertising too.
