Facebook Has Been Sued for Discrimination......

[MMC]

The Department of Justice has issued a federal lawsuit against Facebook for allegedly discriminating against American workers and heavily favoring temporary visa holders.

"The Department of Justice’s lawsuit alleges that Facebook engaged in intentional and widespread violations of the law, by setting aside positions for temporary visa holders instead of considering interested and qualified U.S. workers,” Assistant Attorney General of the Civil Rights Division Eric Dreiband said about the lawsuit. “This lawsuit follows a nearly two-year investigation into Facebook’s practices and a ‘reasonable cause’ determination by the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division. Our message to workers is clear: if companies deny employment opportunities by illegally preferring temporary visa holders, the Department of Justice will hold them accountable. Our message to all employers — including those in the technology sector — is clear: you cannot illegally prefer to recruit, consider, or hire temporary visa holders over U.S. workers."



The lawsuit was filed as part of the "Department of Justice Civil Rights Division’s Protecting U.S. Workers Initiative," which has been active since 2017.
According to DOJ, the tech giant deliberately failed to consider U.S. workers for thousands of available positions at the company.


Meanwhile, at least 40 states plan to sue Facebook in the coming days over alleged anti-trust violations.


"A group of U.S. states led by New York is investigating Facebook Inc for possible antitrust violations and plans to file a lawsuit against the social media giant next week, four sources familiar with the matter said on Wednesday.? The complaint would be the second major lawsuit filed against a Big Tech company this year. The Justice Department sued Alphabet Inc's Google in October," Fox Business reports. "More than 40 states plan to sign on to the lawsuit, one source said, without naming them. Facebook declined to comment. A spokesman for the New York attorney general's office declined to comment.?"......snip~

LMAO.....not just the Fed. But 40 states too. With New York leading the way. Right after we learned that Zuckerberg doled out 350million to help Biden and the deviates.


Now he will be forced to pay out to the Feds and States. When they get done with him. He wont be able to throw out 350million in the next election.

I'm confused. It's 2020. I thought we were obligated to have someone keep a red carpet rolled out for minorities as they walk while we sprinkle rose petals on their heads.

And now Facebook is being sued for anti trust violations. Hook them up for both. Discrimination and the Anti Trusts suits.

If it proves to be true I hope whatever punishment they receive will actually force them to change their practices...

The way these things usually go is, they'll pay fines without admitting fault. Prosecutors tend to not push it farther than than that.
