Another one: FACEBOOK ALLOWED ADVERTISERS TO TARGET USERS INTERESTED IN "WHITE GENOCIDE"

Looks like Zuckerberg makes a boatload on these vile people, and he doesn't care.

Earlier this week, The Intercept was able to select “white genocide conspiracy theory” as a pre-defined “detailed targeting” criterion on the social network to promote two articles to an interest group that Facebook pegged at 168,000 users large and defined as “people who have expressed an interest or like pages related to White genocide conspiracy theory.”
