How to legally discriminate against anyone above the age of 40?
Or under the age of 25. Nobody is voluntarily signing up for Instagram in the modern era. Hell, even TikTok is getting past its prime.
They might as well be demanding my Spotify Playlist.
As someone under 25, this is bullshit. I’m the only person my age I know that doesn’t use Instagram
i think you’re severely overestimating how discerning most zoomers are about social media
They might as well be demanding my Spotify Playlist.
Need to clean up majorly before submitting. Not sure if I should be more worried about certain lyrics or extreme noise and/or extreme weirdness.
Do you think I can keep pornocore tracks? I mean, they dont look at genre names, surely?

Ok this will make me sound 8,000 years old, but what social network are the kids these days using? TikTok exists, but that isn’t really a personal blogging site like Facebook, Myspace, Instagram, etc. What is the equivalent for Facebook for present day high school and college students? Is everyone just on discord?
I don’t think that people do that very much any more, since the medium has changed.
People don’t really do things like make blog posts as much as they used to.
I think large group chats. Benefits of larger audience posting without being completely public-facing.
you have no idea how popular insta is if you think this is the case
You have no idea how many people still use dial-up internet. shrug
It’s still pigeonholed to a generational cohort.
Yall are making playlists? I just add all songs to the liked and just hit skip until I find songs I’m in the mood for.
Yeah, that sounds insane. Everyone knows those platforms are selling your data. I don’t think most young people are that stupid.
This is probably rage bait TBH.
since this is required…I’m sure the position involves some type of social media presence on insta and tiktok
“Required” doesn’t mean you have to provide account credentials. It just means you have a provide a string of characters to complete the form.
Noneor/are strings of character.Well since we are picking nits, it could be that the form checks in real time and won’t accept a non-existent account name.
But yeah, the red asterisks are disconcerting.
That level of automation in an HR form is a pipe dream
Well since we are picking nits, it could be that the form checks in real time and won’t accept a non-existent account name.
If this happened, this would be my cue to withdraw my application: that’s one employer I wouldn’t want to work for.
Doing social media isn’t yet a legal requirement, so whoever makes it a requirement for employment can fuck right off.
I wonder how safe they are from SQL injection…
I don’t have a tiktok and I think I deleted my Instagram because I never use it and they were sending me email. I’m betting those aren’t the only two services they ask about. You could enter None for each but seems like if they’re asking for these, they’re going to take a lack of answers as a strike against you and probably reject the application.
So best to reject the job listing first
“Our application statistics show everybody has IG and TikTok accounts.”
I don’t have either one of these. Jesus.
Same.
I technically have an IG. It has 1 photo of not me and I’ve never commented
I might have an insta they come automatically with a Facebook account I think I’ve never accessed it nor do I even know how to.
And it’s required. I genuinely have neither. Am I not welcome to apply?
You’re on an fbi list for not having one and another list for having neither
At least I’m not on the Epstein list.
Oddly enough that’s leadership material in 21st century
Honestly if you aren’t being watched by at least 9 letters worth of agencies, you’re boring
Sadly these people would probably assume that you were lying.
You have to create some and post how amazing the company is you are applying to
I’d just write “none”
N/A
N/A
It’s anecdotal, but back when I was on Reddit, I saw someone say that a prospective employer actually required your full credentials so that they could check your private information as well.

That makes sense, because any government agencies that actually have a need for intimate knowledge of your social media footprint don’t actually need your password to harvest ALL the data that network has on you public and private.
deleted by creator
There’s no need to involve the courts when the social media networks are complicit. It’s not as if “how” they obtained the data will ever be tested in court, they only need the data for their own internal investigations. Courts and spy agencies don’t have anything to do with it.

If that illusion makes you feel safer, then I don’t care enough to argue with you about it.

They just buy the data en masse from data brokers. All of the process is civil rights theater.

I mean maybe if they have an investigation and they want to use that information as evidence sure that would be illegal to use but for background checks any of that information is fair game if they are able to get it. Like if your terms of service specifically say they wont give any information out for any reason, maybe you can sue them if you can prove they got the information with your name attached directly instead of it being sold after being anonymized in aggregate then another company/data broker aggregating other data on you to infer who’s data belongs to who with device footprints then selling that to the government as a service which i mean good luck. But most likely the terms you sign say they will hand over data for criminal investigations or matters of national security to government entities which they can state background checks for high level clearance positions is a matter of national security.

No country is publicizing what checks they do for a high level security clearance check unless they want to give bad actors and easy way to beat their checks. What country is this and whats the exact law you are referencing? If you can provide me direct evidence for that I’ll eat my words but I think you are misunderstanding something if im honest.

My boss worked at IBM before his current role. He said a former colleague of his listed him as a reference for his security clearance and he “got to meet with some men in suits with no sense of humor” as part of it.
Honestly I’ll probably never go for any jobs that require a security clearance because honestly that’s just a level of stress that I don’t need
Probrally a scammer
I don’t even have a TikTok account, lol.
Then you are not qualified for this job
Have one just in case
Maybe it’s an intelligence test: if you supply them, you’re too dumb for the job.
The red star indicates a required field.
Sure sure. Or go with the old standby
I used to use fuckoff@aol.com or fuckyou@aol.com whenever some page forced an email address for access. Sadly, those don’t seem to work anymore, so I’ve transitioned to getfucked@hotmail.com or if I’m feeling spicy I just feed them whatever email address I can find listed on their own site.
I usually just do “marketing@sitename” for whatever site it is. Let marketing sort out their own spam. Sometimes I’ll just do “postmaster@sitename” or “admin@sitename” but marketing is usually my go to.
Many forms simply do the most basic regular expression possible of looking for alphanumberic characters with an @ sign before a period somewhere in the mix, so you can enter entirely nonexistent domains, but some are a little more in-depth

While entertaining, the point is that they are collecting it to check the account so I could just put in some celebrity’s handle and explain it later or put in gibberish and explain it later.
So?
They can require these things all they want, the correct reply is
N/Aor/- meaning “I don’t have an Instagram or a Tiktok account” (and if you do have accounts, it’s not a crime to pretend you don’t).And that should be the correct reply for a decent employer to rate the candidate above those who stupidly provide the information.
Conversely, if the employer thinks not having social media accounts is a minus, it’s probably not an employer you want to work with anyway.
“None”
@none
"; DROP TABLE Applicants;
Report them, the only solution.
… To whom?
Report job ads on the website you saw it. Report it to ministry if possible.
Apart from taking our data when we apply, they also ask for personal social media? Who they think they are ? We need some privacy!
this could only come close to making sense for a social media manager.
Looking forward to the day I’m unemployable for not having those accounts instead of just for being really easy to find out I’m a communist
Try :() :;:
My Instagram handle is '); DROP TABLE AccountNames;–
put “logout” in these forms and watch them logout from their account
I have neither, what would I do?
Try a SQL injection attack
I recently attempted to apply for a job and they wanted a link to my LinkedIn page. Fair enough, but then they also had another spot for “Website” that was mandatory to fill in, and it would not allow me to continue with the application until I had a legit website in there, and it wouldn’t accept the same link as my LinkedIn page that I’d already used in the space above, so I just gave up. Fuckers.
Use https://example.com/ lol
But, yeah, it’s gotten ridiculous. No one wants to work, though…
Avoid use in operations.
Damn! I wanted to use it.
Put in a random github page and explain in the interview.
bit.ly that redirects to LinkedIn?
