Facebook is under fire for allowing companies to allegedly unfairly post on the social network job ads specifically for men – and not women.

The American Civil Liberties Union and Outten & Golden LLP, an employment law firm, have dragged the tech giant and ten other companies before the US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, a federal agency that handles claims of workplace discrimination and other civil rights abuses. Specifically, on Tuesday the union and law firm filed charges against Facebook et al on behalf of three women and the Communications Workers of America to the commission, alleging gender discrimination.
