New paper, Auditing for Racial Discrimination in the Delivery of Education Ads, proposes a black-box auditing method that can evaluate racial bias in the delivery of education ads. We apply our method to Meta and find evidence of racial discrimination. #FAccT2024 @FAccTConference

Facebook’s ad delivery algorithms have been known to introduce bias and create echo chambers for job, housing and politics ads for several years. Our latest research shows that for job ad delivery, Facebook’s algorithms are not merely biased, but discriminatory under US law. 🧵

"We need to reframe what it means to take care of ourselves. Everyone has access to self-care. It's not just about what you spend your money on, it's also about how you invest your time, your effort and your energy into meaningful work." — @MinaaBe

ALT Quote: Sometimes self-care might look like taking a bath. And sometimes self-care might look like speaking up, erecting boundaries, being assertive and holding yourself accountable.

Sharing lessons from running a startup through 2008. Hope it's useful to founders.👇
1/ Most important: prioritize your health and family. It's clearly stressful as the world feels like it's falling apart. If you are healthy and have your loved ones, you will be fine long term.

In the early days of a startup, your ability to make good data-ignorant decisions is more important than your ability to make good data-driven decisions.

If Facebook is serious about this, then why does it plan to deploy the political ads controls "starting in the US early this summer", after most of the 2020 US primaries and caucuses are complete? Implementing such a control is not a significant engineering challenge for Facebook
Today we announced expanded transparency and controls for political ads, which includes the option to see fewer political ads. about.fb.com/news/2020/01/po… (1/11)
Go @korolova - great @WIRED article about her most recent research. “Facebook favors a certain kind of communication that focuses on engaging with people who are already on your side. Polarization, in other words, is part of the business model. “ wired.com/story/facebook-pol…
