Meta Challenges French Ruling on Facebook's Discriminatory Job Advertisement Algorithm

Meta Platforms has contested a landmark ruling by France's rights watchdog that found Facebook's algorithm discriminates based on gender in job advertisements. The Defenseur des Droits gave Meta three months to implement non-discriminatory measures, marking a significant step in European tech regulation and platform accountability. Women's rights organizations who initiated the complaint have welcomed this precedent-setting decision.
