Facebook allowed advertisers to target anti-Semitic groups

Season 2017 Episode 1168 | 3m 40s

ProPublica reported this week that Facebook advertisers were able to target ads to "Jew-haters" and other users who belonged to anti-Semitic groups. This follows a recent announcement by the company that Russian propagandists had bought thousands of ads on the platform during the presidential election. Julia Angwin, who co-reported the story for ProPublica, joins Hari Sreenivasan.
