They're off the rails, and I think under that baby face, Zucky's got a worse devil face than Lucifer. 


I target particular areas where median incomes are over a certain threshold. It's pretty easy to get that information. So instead of targeting net worth, zeroing in on a county or something more hyperlocal.

I don't care about what Facebook does. I've successfully sold homes in all price points for 25+ years without Facebook and suspect I'll be doing so for some time to come. There was life before Facebook.

Stop advertising on FB - simple solution.  It may have something to do with losing a lawsuit.  I don't know - as I do not follow what FB does or does not do. Not a fan of FB and don't advertise on FB.

Seems like everyone is afraid of being accused of discrimination. maybe when fb sees enough people stopping their advertising on facebook, they'll re-think their advertising policies.

Well yes that's the way they did it & now they can't. I think it's clearly discriminatory so? I'm sure there are other ways to find it. I no longer belong that at FB Group so I can't tell you. They didn't seem worried about it at all - they were planning on going around it.

They also stopped letting us target home owners as part of a gov crackdown. I thought this admin was going to stop the nanny state. I shut down my ad campaign because it was barely worth it when i could target homeowners.

It's a knee-jerk reaction from a report that, by it's own accord, was a non-issue.  They are trying to recover from too many scandals and over-compensating.

 

Like when people cite anti-trust laws for not answering a question when there is no relevance.  "How's the weather?  Sorry, can't answer that due to anti-trust laws."  Targetting income levels and even tight geographic areas is not discriminatory.  There is nothing wrong with advertising to only people that can afford your product.
