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

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.
Nobody does personal blogging. Well, except a few specific primates doing so on Xitter. And I’ve also seen some people with at least half a brain getting a domain and writing blogs there in hopes someone clicks on their link.
You’re reading blog to literally. Think how people traditionally use Facebook/Myspace, posting regular updates, photos from their life, etc, intended primarily for friends and family to see. What’s the equivalent of that for kids today?
None. It is no longer “cool” to post your entire life onto the internet. Source: I am a kid.
I mean, outside of posting a few pics of college events, I don’t think most of my friends post pictures to Instagram. Hell, some of them like me don’t even have Instagram/major social media anymore.
Before I left Insta, I didn’t even bother to follow friends/irl people I know
because I’d rather talk to them in person that shit’s dumb, I really only looked at memes, silly reels/vids, and fanart of stuff. Like 90% of Gen Z is only on social media for content and lols, not to update each other on their livesI talk to my friends in person. We share pictures of shit we do in life to each other in group chats, but 95% of what we do was done as a group anyway. We don’t really feel the need to let randos/online friends know every thing we’re doing all the time.
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.
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.
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.
It’s less an issue of getting a job and more an issue of data miners masquerading as job applications.
That really depends on the jurisdiction.
In the UK, it is mandatory to provide your actual address for most positions, for example.
Brit here. I have never been asked for my address pre-offer.
What?
It seems pretty resonable for my employer to know where I live…
Here in Sweden, they get all of that info via our personal number which we submit to them when accepting the possition
Not one employer of mine knew or cared where I lived. They knew whether I did the job or not.
But do they need to know when you apply, or only after you’ve been hired?
Why would my employer need to know where I live? That makes no sense.
Id simply put “none” in that box
Data harvesting disguised as a job application
“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.
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 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”
You slipped out a bit of Dutch at the end there.
Could be, but what part, exactly?
“het place”
Strongly agreed!
Doesn’t sound illegal at all. Immoral sure. But there’s no way governments have created a law to make asking for social logins illegal
Small company overreach.
They probably also ask you a bunch of illegal questions in the screening

Yeah but this is asking for their credentials which is an absolute direct NO, as that would be extremely risky for me
Probrally a scammer
I don’t even have a TikTok account, lol.
You shouldn’t have an Instagram account, either. Meta is more evil than Google.
A decade ago I would’ve agreed. Now I’m not too sure there’s enough difference to be significant.
I mean the second part of your comment. Obviously I agree with not having an IG lol
These are evil companies, but I am curious what metric you’re using to say one is worse than the other when their objectives and methods are similar.
Then you are not qualified for this job
Have one just in case
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.
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
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
Bet it’s only on the client side
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
this could only come close to making sense for a social media manager.
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!
I have neither, what would I do?
Try a SQL injection attack
put “logout” in these forms and watch them logout from their account
lmao this is genius
