A decade ago when I was still doing recruiting and interviewing, one of the first steps in many companies’ hiring process was (and maybe still is) “follow us on (social media).” It artificially boosts their follower count (social validation) and lets them snoop on your personal life to see if you are a “good fit” (have inconvenient politics, good bikini photos, etc.).
Many companies saw NOT having social media as a major red flag. “How do we know what he/she really thinks about X?”
I recently spoke with a new graduate. One company she interviewed with didn’t just want her to follow them, they wanted her account passwords. She said no and never heard back from them.
If you are a current job-seeker, Gray Man Theory will work better than defiance for this case. Get yourself a social media account and use the same phone number you put on your application to verify yourself. Follow some vanilla normie accounts and post pictures of your pets. Do not post pictures of yourself.
might be a bit obvious, but make sure you relegate your normie account to an old device. good use for an ipod if you still have one that hasnt killed itself yet.
Is this because of tracking cookies and curated search profiles designed to better feed you adds based on your search patterns?
while correct, its actually irrelevant at least for the context of my post. social media is in itself almost as big vector for malware as those sketchy porn sites, and you should not test whatever security you may or may not have needlessly.
also, quarantining the normie infection to something that barely works helps protect yourself from accidently revealing your lack of normieness whenever the horde inevitably makes something taboo for no reason.
Excellent point.
Aka burner account
Can't really burn it when it's publicly attached to you. More like a mask.
This is crazy. From a legal point nobody can force you to give away your passwords. There are laws protecting your privacy and private property. If she can prove it, she will easily win in court against these piece of shit.
I hear ya, but it makes sense from their perspective. It's the same cover niggers use when they surround a lone victim and "axe" for a dollah.
If an authority figure intervenes...well, "we was just axing. They didn't have to." But if there's no authority figures around, well then...
I never asked for passwords, but social media is a goldmine. I never hired niggers or anyone with a degree in grievances.
Degree in grievances. Perfect
actually its even worse than that many companies IE facebook twitter etc have terms of service specifically making it illegal for you to share your password. its fucking crazy how companies can ask people to break the law just to be employed
Who are these non questioning conformist normies that hand over this info for a job?
"facebook twitter etc have terms of service specifically making it illegal for you to share your password."
Terms of service are not law no matter how much they want you to think it is. Sharing your password is against the TOS, but you're not gonna go to jail for it. They'll just ban your account.
I realize being banned from social media is worse than jail for some of you weak-minded fucks, but you're not getting incarcerated.
Your world doesn't work like the real world
