I thought it was only a real problem with military court-martials where the President weighing in is basically the supreme commander putting their thumb on the scale.

Now smart practice would be for him to stay the gently caress out but... Trump.

If you read through HUD's announcement they are pretty much taking the position that not only is directly allowing real estate related advertisers to select demographic groups illegal (duh), using The Algorithm to generate groups with common interests is so likely to producing racially split grouping that it is also against the law.

HUD is essentially saying online targeted real estate advertising is illegal, and the ad platforms (Facebook, Google, Twitter) are liable.

Normally when the DOJ gets involved like this it’s to determine if the local/state justice system committed civil rights offenses. I have a feeling that’s not their motivation here.

Yeah this has been coming for quite awhile now. Facebook stripped most of the targeting tools from real estate related accounts sometime last year.

Well they claimed they did. What they actually did was remove a very small number of blatantly illegal targeting options and real estate people just switched to using heavily protected-class-correlated "interests" to discriminate.

But yeah this has been coming for a while. What triggered it to happen right now was Facebook just announced they settled a private lawsuit over the advertising discrimination, and HUD apparently didn't like the terms.

Haven't the feds been on this longer than DOJ? I mean sure i don't trust the FBI but i don't see them being as partisan as the DOJ am i wrong?

Edit: I know the FBI is under the umbrella of the DOJ but i thought it does it's own thing most of the time...

I just suspect that the reason its creepy is because it represents a threat to your social standing and not the fear of violence. It would help to know if he identifies more with the renter, or tennant, because being more afraid of the guillotine than being evicted implies a certain caste.

It’s creepy because it’s not socialist solidarity, it’s crabs in a bucket trying to pull down other sub-millionaires who they resent for having “made it”, and being all masturbatory about how good and righteous they are when they’re not actually doing a goddamned thing about the real capitalists and Uber rich

It’s creepy because it’s a reminder that the guillotines did barely anything to the ruling class aside from the King and Queen of France but boy howdy were they effective against neighbors who were doing slightly better than your family and you hated the gently caress out of them for that

Fun fact: race discrimination in Fair Housing works any way (white people can be discriminated against :rolleyes:) but age discrimination only works towards towards old people. You can discriminate all you want against people under a certain age.

Best for everyone ITT to remember that this is actually a Bad Thing, that statistic that Brad Pitt quotes at the end of The Big Short comes to mind - 40,000 people die if unemployment goes up by 1% (globally IIRC).

A US recession (which inevitably leads to a global recess) on the scale of '08 is arguably way worse than a second Trump term.

It's gonna happen either way, though
