    Get real! This is about more than one employer and employee making an independent decision. This is the way the system is developing.

    Privacy is becoming less and less of a choice and its because of things like this. You can’t really decide to not have a smartphone anymore. Just like how you can’t really decide to not agree to employment conditions. There are more ways to influence people than with a gun to the head. Wake up!

      “You can’t really decide to not have a smartphone anymore”

      You can, but everything has consequences, maybe youre simply noy willing to pay the price of your genuine choices.

      The underliying problem is not the system, is that people within the sistem dont care about privacy anymore and that manifest itself in a lack of privacy respecting job offers in this particular case, but that apply for apps, services, etc…

      People gets what they ask for “with their choices”, it doesn’t matter if you call yourself a privacy minded guy if you go and make yourself a FB account and then complain about they poor privacy practices and data mining.

      The net effect is that you rather prefer to give up you privacy in orther to be in that social network, same apply in the work field if you take a job oportunity that isn’t privacy respecting; youre saying with your actions “I prefer to give up my privacy rather to keep looking for other job or employer”
