Systemic probes are relatively rare and involve more agency resources than typical investigations.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/a57.foxnews.com\/cf-images.us-east-1.prod.boltdns.net\/v1\/static\/694940094001\/af120790-7a15-4b1b-99fb-f6bcdd8ff02c\/27bf938a-eb8a-46a1-95ac-f599cbbe0f68\/1280x720\/match\/720\/405\/image.jpg?ve=1&amp;tl=1\"><\/p>\n<p>The EEOC did not immediately respond to a request for comment. To date, the agency has not charged Facebook with any wrongdoing.<\/p>\n<p>Facebook spokesman Andy Stone declined Reuters\u2019 request for comment on the allegations. However, he said Facebook considers it &#8220;essential to provide all employees with a respectful and safe working environment.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We take any allegations of discrimination seriously and investigate every case,&#8221; he added.<\/p>\n<p>Facebook was one of several tech firms that pledged to boost the diversity of its workforce in recent years. In its 2020 report on diversity released last June, Facebook said 3.9% of its workforce was Black.<\/p>\n<p>Veneszee, a U.S. Navy veteran, filed his complaint against Facebook in July 2020. In an interview with the Los Angeles Times at the time, Veneszee said he decided to act after concerns he raised with Facebook management regarding the company\u2019s hiring practices failed to yield progress.<\/p>\n<p><strong>CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The only way to get contributions from Black experience is to have more Black employees at the company,&#8221; Veneszee said. &#8220;I think the desire is there, but I don\u2019t think there\u2019s an understanding of what\u2019s required to transition to a company that\u2019s more open, to being diverse, bold.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The tech industry has faced widespread scrutiny from regulators regarding several facets of company operations, including business and hiring practices. In December, the Federal Trade Commission and a coalition of state attorneys general filed an antitrust lawsuit against Facebook.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/facebook-faces-systemic-probe-alleged-racial-discrimination-in-hiring-practices-report\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>North Carolina Attorney General Josh Stein on Facebook antitrust suits The Federal Trade Commission and states file antitrust suits against Facebook;
