A US agency investigating Facebook Inc. for racially biased hiring and promotions has classified its probe as "systemic." This means it suspects the company policies may be a cause of widespread discrimination. Attorneys for three job applicants and a manager at Facebook informed Reuters of the developments on Friday. This news follows a recent lawsuit suing Amazon for similar practices.
