This week, the D.C. Superior Court denied Meta’s motion to dismiss our lawsuit, allowing us to move forward in challenging how its AI-driven ad system disproportionately targets Black users with ads for for-profit colleges.
As Leah Frazier, director of the Digital Justice Initiative at the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, stated:“The D.C. Superior Court’s decision to let our case against Meta move forward is a critical step in the fight against algorithmic bias. ERC’s complaint argues that Meta’s AI-driven ad system disproportionately targets Black users with ads for for-profit colleges. As AI becomes more embedded in decisions that shape educational and economic opportunity, we must confront automated discrimination head-on.”
We’re proud to stand at the forefront of the legal and digital fight for racial equity in tech.
