If, say, some company wanted to offer a product at a discount, but only wanted to offer that discount to a certain category of person for some reason

That's literally how the entire insurance industry works in the first place. So I wonder, is there a special exception that insurance companies get that Facebook does not?

Might it depend on the specifics? Im unsure what the relevant laws are here, but it's easy to imagine that offering a special discount to, say, non-smokers, would be considered far more acceptable than offering a discount only to men
