Facebook Enabled Advertisers To Reach 'Jew Haters' (propublica.org)
ProPublica is reporting that Facebook "enabled advertisers to direct their pitches to the news feeds of almost 2,300 people who expressed interest in the topics of 'Jew hater,' 'How to burn jews,' or, 'History of why jews ruin the world.'" The organization even went so far as to test these ad categories by paying $30 to target those groups with three "promoted posts" -- in which a ProPublica article or post was displayed in their news feeds. Facebook reportedly approved all three ads within 15 minutes. From the report: After we contacted Facebook, it removed the anti-Semitic categories -- which were created by an algorithm rather than by people -- and said it would explore ways to fix the problem, such as limiting the number of categories available or scrutinizing them before they are displayed to buyers. In all likelihood, the ad categories that we spotted were automatically generated because people had listed those anti-Semitic themes on their Facebook profiles as an interest, an employer or a "field of study." Facebook's algorithm automatically transforms people's declared interests into advertising categories. [ProPublica provides a screenshot of their ad buying process on the company's advertising portal.]
"There are times where content is surfaced on our platform that violates our standards," said Rob Leathern, product management director at Facebook. "In this case, we've removed the associated targeting fields in question. We know we have more work to do, so we're also building new guardrails in our product and review processes to prevent other issues like this from happening in the future."

Both the extreme left AND extreme right hate the Jews.
For different reasons, of course... but it's one thing that they can both agree on.
READY.

Not during National Brotherhood week!.
Seriously though, no. Both sides are not bad. Antisemitism is almost exclusively a feature of the right. That's because the left when it encounters it works to purge it from it's ranks. The right embraces as another part of the Southern Strategy. It's how they divide the working class...
Hi! I make Firefox Plug-ins. Check 'em out @ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/youtube-mp3-podcaster/
Yes, they're all "nut bags"... "polluting" the internet... That would be right...
Of course, Jews don't run the Federal Reserve, nor most of the other banks in the world, and Jews don't run 90% of the media in the West, and Jews aren't responsible for forcing every white person on Earth to live in a multi-racial society, despite it being VERY obvious that most white people don't want it... If we wanted to live in a multi-racial society, you wouldn't have had to FORCE it on us, would you?
So please explain why you believe white people shouldn't be allowed to simply have our own countries any more? Obviously you believe that non-whites are incapable of running their own countries, and have to live around white people to benefit from whatever 'magic' you think we have...
Or do you have another explanation?
OOH, THE POOR JEWS!
No, they didn't. 2000 years of no country, doesn't really count when you get one again. If that's the case, the Irish weren't there first -- they displaced someone. And the Irish never LOST their country entirely. It was always still called "Ireland", even if remotely administered and part of the British Empire.
Unlike the Jewish State (by a dozen names) more than 2000+ years ago, that was lost, and the map redrawn 100 times until the re-formation of the 'new' Jewish State.
