This whole story about the crazy TikTok HR lady has really got me thinking. She has opened a big can of worms, by saying the quiet part out loud so confidently. She has obviously opened herself and her employers up to MASSIVE liability, and exposed HR for what it is - gossiping angry liberal women - but there may be bigger story here.
Facebook hidden tracking. Q has mentioned how FB tracks people, even when they have no FB account, and that we would be amazed by how much info they have and where it is stored... My bet is that it is stored with HR.
I am thinking back to job interviews I had with a couple VERY large companies. The first interviews went amazingly, the one with the people in my actual field. I thought it was a slam dunk, got the vibe that the job was mine. Then they asked if HR could check my social media. I responded that I didn't have a social media presence and just used email and text to communicate with my friends and family. I thought it was weird that BOTH times they said "Well, we still need to check, is it ok"?
If angry SJW women read my posts here I have a feeling I know why I didn't get the jobs.
We may have stumbled onto something BIG here...
FB did start as DARPA LifeLog.
Oddly, I've never been asked about social media at any interview, I've been given a "social media policy" that was effectively don't speak for the company.
I've deliberately made myself far more difficult to track down; all my social media accounts use different email addresses, use varying profile pictures, and while it might betray me if one was determined but also rarely post photos from my phone (without doing some form of wipe of the metadata).
So, that would leave them with a facebook profile that I've not touched in years and a linkedin account, any deeper of a dive and they would be unlikely to track me down without some serious efforts.
