According to the article, people generally don't use their real info on this site, but the site is making dubious inferences that allow them to pull the info from other sources to auto-populate the 'real' fields in their site.
That's even worse. I bet there are tons of false positives and people facing consequences at job for bad reviews Glassdoor thinks they wrote.
ah yes, this definitely is legal, and will continue to be legal. I'm sure.
This cannot possibly be legal in Europe.
