But is this bad? Shouldnt targeting people by race or political views be banned? Like, I guess its unfair if they only do it to social justice topics, but I dont think letting people target people would be better

Did you read the whole article?

Comparing these results with the results of our companion study on hate terms revealed troubling differences: “Black power” was blocked for ad placement but not “White power.” “Black Lives Matter” was blocked but not “White lives matter,” “all lives matter,” or “blue lives matter.” However, “Black trans lives matter” and “Black girls matter” were also not blocked.
