(CBS SF) — It’s no secret: Google has long been tracking our Internet searches to generate customized ads based on our interests.

But new findings from Carnegie Mellon University claim Google’s targeted ad algorithm is downright discriminatory, particularly for women.

It found that fake male job seekers were much more likely than females with the same qualifications to be shown ads for high-paying executive jobs when they visited places like news websites.

So they have created a realistic algorithm? Those motherfrickers...

You realize that men are much more likely TO APPLY for those jobs than women right?

That's like calling Northwestern Mutual bigoted for advertising during The Masters.
