On March 28, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) accused Facebook of violating the Fair Housing Act by encouraging discrimination based on race, religion, sex, familial status, national origin and disability through housing service-related ads.

The allegation came roughly a week after Facebook settled with multiple civil rights and labor organizations over a similar accusation of facilitating discriminatory advertisements. The company said it would stop allowing housing, employment or credit ads to target an audience based on their ZIP code, age or gender, according to a statement from Facebook’s chief operating officer, Sheryl Sandberg.
