Campaigners begin action against male-targeted job ads on Facebook

Workers claim that Facebook provides job ads which allows employers to choose who they want based on their age and sex

Facebook and a group of 10 employers have had a formal complaint made against them by workers for alleged gender discrimination after job adverts on the social media site targeted male users and did not appear to women.

The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) on Tuesday submitted a complaint to the US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and say the social media company is operating illegally. .
