Until this week, when we asked Facebook about it, the world's largest social network enabled advertisers to direct their pitches to the news feeds of almost 2,300 people who expressed interest in the topics of "Jew hater," "How to burn jews," or, "History of 'why jews ruin the world.'".
Unlike traditional media companies that select the audiences they offer advertisers, Facebook generates its ad categories automatically based both on what users explicitly share with Facebook and what they implicitly convey through their online activity.
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg wrote at the time that "There is no place for hate in our community," and pledged to keep a closer eye on hateful posts and threats of violence on Facebook.
