«Facebook's use and abuse of user data for
discriminatory purposes needs to stop,» Lisa Rice, president and CEO of NFHA, said in a statement.
Section 2 of the CHRA provides that the
purpose of the CHRA is to «extend the laws in Canada to give effect... to the principle that all individuals should have an opportunity equal with other individuals to make for themselves the lives that they are able and wish to have and to have their
needs accommodated, consistent with their duties and obligations as members of society, without being hindered in or prevented from doing so by
discriminatory practices based on race, national or ethnic origin, colour, religion, age, sex, sexual orientation, marital status, family status, disability or conviction for an offence for which a pardon has been granted or in respect of which a record suspension has been ordered.»
