Hearing all this makes me happy I got into my career position years ago, before all of this nonsense data mining got started.

We are not too far away from having some version of the “social credit” score used by communists in China. The technology exists, and the bits of information about us are being collected. It won’t take much to pull it all together, if anyone is inclined to do so.

So what? Private companies doing electronic demographics. No threat to the voluntary cooperation between buyers and sellers in the marketplace FREE FROM GOVERNMENT INTERFERENCE.

The threat is when GOVERNMENT spys on us. THAT’s a big deal.

I feel better every day about my decision to become an entrepreneur so many years ago.

[caww]

Sounds like their gearing up for China’s scoring system.

So many opportunities to pursue lawsuits, and lawsuits definitely needs to happen.

This won’t last long, because it will be deemed racist. Already, Consumer Reports and other liberal organizations browbeat auto insurance companies into not charging higher rates in minority areas. Never mind the difference in risk, because any inequality is automatically racist.

Large employers use HireVue, a firm that generates an "employability" score about candidates by analyzing "tens of thousands of factors,"

A competent hiring manager wouldn't need such service.

Sorry, but this has been going on for a long time.

Not from my phone!!!

Pardon me but I laugh at stories like this. Track me all you want a$$holes. Retired and don’t owe anybody for nuthin.

Come and get me.

Other employers use Cornerstone's score, which considers where a job prospect lives and which web browser they use to judge how successful they will be at a job.

Which web browser can determine how successful you are on the job?

This is why any link we go to wants me to sign in to view it, I don’t.

It “ain’t for advertising” it is about this know all about your personal BS and selling that data to whom, we will probably never know.

Advertisers all ready know all they need to know about us to direct their advertising from our previous visits, purchases, returns and what we look at and read.

Credit card companies, who know your monthly credit rating want you to fill your income on most bill payments. Nope!

[SaxxonWoods]

And yet facebook classifies me as a liberal.

[doorgunner69]

If I never make or get calls other than my home, just what is it they know about me?

[dfwgator]

[moovova]

I could really care less.

Score THAT MF’ers.

[cherry]

well, they will use these scores against white people but minorities will not be judged.....I guarantee it..

[Farcesensitive]

This is stalking combined with slander and libel.

I check credit scores and criminal background checks on perspective renters.

My wife does background checks and credit check for perspective new hires because she has class 1 drugs at her business.
