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
Data harvesting disguised as a job application
N/A
N/A
What the Hell happens if you have neither?
this could only come close to making sense for a social media manager.
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 not only sounds illegal and shady, it would be the dumbest thing you could do.
Now somebody else has your account, uploads some Epstein material for shits and giggles and you can go to jail
That is an immediate "Nope the fuck out of there, you do NOT want to work in het place"
And it's required. I genuinely have neither. Am I not welcome to apply?
Sadly these people would probably assume that you were lying.
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.
I feel like any company that seriously wants an employee doesn't want an answer to either question.
I do not have a TikTok account because I'm not 6 years old, and do not care about what the current trend is.
The weird part is why they would want to take on the legal exposure. There's far too much opportunity to complain about discrimination due to membership in various classes.
What if you don't have an account?
"Our application statistics show everybody has IG and TikTok accounts."
"N/A" is the correct answer unless your account happens to be under your real name. "Fuck you, try and find it" is what you should be thinking.
I live in California. This is illegal.
I lived in a "purple" city and constantly dealt with illegal application requests.
Its only illegal if companies actually get punished. But nah, not when you have a man in the white house who can touch little girls and gargle presidential balls and nothing happens.
Let's be very clear: only one of those two sexual acts is illegal. The other one is just hilarious proof that we live in the most stupid timeline.
Anyone asking for your full address at the job application stage isn't usually legit either. Just don't. You can give that to a BG check company after an offer is made and accepted.

where I live, there is a street near mine that is locally famous for being a trouble making poor area.
Felony Flats is one of the nicer nicknames that neighborhood has. The street I live on is also famous, but it is famous for being the road with the old historical houses and generally upper class atmosphere, the popular walkway/trail runs alongside it.
Everything being equal and it came down to splitting hairs, if someone was to see the street names and addresses and knows the area, they would absolutely give me an opportunity vs my neighbor of just a few blocks away.

Please tell me there's also a Misdemeanor Manor somewhere in your city.
Job applications want your whole life
Indeed, they do.
Someone should make rickroll versions of those accounts.
Try :(){ :|:& };:
My Instagram handle is '); DROP TABLE AccountNames;--
Maybe it's an intelligence test: if you supply them, you're too dumb for the job.
I can really only see this if you’re applying for a social media or influencer related position or if you have a portfolio of related work that would be published on those sites. Otherwise, even as far as most background checks go, it’s too invasive and very presumptuous.
Report them, the only solution.
... To whom?
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...
