I'm not finding this terribly shocking. I just can't get worked up about the "problem" that Google is allowing people - not doing it themselves, mind you, but simply failing to actively block other people - from targeting ads in a way that some other people might find unfair.
The world of advertising seems an odd place to have this battle. Do we really believe that a person of protected class X has an affirmative right to be targeted by advertising in the same way as everyone else? I find it difficult to imagine someone exclaiming "how come HE got to see the advertisement, but you didn't put the ad in for me?" - or anyone who does get offended in this way is probably seeking out faults to complain about.
