Google & Twitter Allow Racist Ad Targeting to Advertisers

As per a report from Buzzfeed, Google allows Advertisers to create ads targeting racists people.

Google is not only allowing but also suggesting advertisers to use keywords like “white people ruin” and “the evil jew”.

A report from Buzzfeed has quoted the incidence as:

Type “White people ruin,” as a potential advertising keyword into Google’s ad platform, and Google will suggest you run ads next to searches including “black people ruin neighborhoods.” Type “Why do Jews ruin everything,” and Google will suggest you run ads next to searches including “the evil jew” and “Jewish control of banks.”

In order to investigate into the matter, Buzzfeed, itself purchased ads and run a live campaign without notifying the matter to the google.

Just a few hours after Google admitted to fail against the cross-check of such advertising, Daily Beast too reported similar incidence about Twitter letting advertisers target hateful words and phrases including “Nazi”, “Wetback” and more.
