Meta and the Department of Justice agreed on the targets the technology giant must reach when delivering housing ads to customers in order to comply with federal housing antidiscrimination rules, the DOJ announced Monday.
Meta, previously known as Facebook, has hired a third-party, Guidehouse, to verify for the DOJ whether Meta is meeting compliance targets going forward, the agency said.
