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

Or under the age of 25. Nobody is voluntarily signing up for Instagram in the modern era.

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?

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

Same.

I technically have an IG. It has 1 photo of not me and I've never commented

At least I'm not on the Epstein list.

Honestly if you aren't being watched by at least 9 letters worth of agencies, you're boring

Felony Flats is one of the nicer nicknames that neighborhood has.

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.

Brit here. I have never been asked for my address pre-offer.

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.

You slipped out a bit of Dutch at the end there.

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

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.

Use something like this

So?

They can require these things all they want, the correct reply is N/A or / - 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"

"; DROP TABLE Applicants;

Bet it’s only on the client side

As would any sane person

I couldn't imagine having that happen. I would leave so fast, but not before telling them what a waste of fucking time this had been.

"Sorry, my password manager is on my laptop at home."

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

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!
