Facebook will overhaul its ad-targeting systems to prevent discrimination in housing , credit and employment ads as part of a legal settlement. The company still faces an administrative complaint filed by U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development in August over the housing ads issue. Facebook agreed to let the groups test its ad systems to ensure they don't enable discrimination. It's taken fire for allowing advertisers to target groups of people identified as "Jew-haters" and Nazi sympathizers. "There is a lot of pressure on Facebook and its ability to target ads," said eMarketer analyst Debra Aho Williamson.
