Fears Google Hire could allow employers to see your entire search history

...

I'm sure I'm missing some, care to add the rest?

This is truly frightening as we'll get to see the corporate state emerge within our lifetimes. yes I know it pretty much exists now

Considering we're all anti-capitalists and pose an actual threat to the system, this fucks us hard.

mfw employers wont hire anyone because everyone has one fucked up thing in their search history.

I dont think they'll care about the porn, but being a fucking commie might not look so good on a resume.

Honestly i'd try to pass looking up marx as "Me just trying to hear both sides of the argument". Would suck being a neet b/c of google since I would place my own self worth on not being a lazy piece of shit. (Hence my low self worth ;-;)

Unfortunately there tend to be so many fucking applicants that they'll just toss you out just in case regardless

Read the article fags. It only gives them your search history if you put your google email on your resume.

Reminder American ISPs can sell your browsing data.

Yup, google is just the start of it.

N-No problem at all ahaha…

Most men unless they're Baby boomers, hillary supporters or religious wackos look at porn. Unless you're looking at illegal or super gross types of porn I doubt businesses will care.

Also if you're young enough I doubt they'll even care about the communism part.

Not in the least saying this isn't a problem but I think we're starting to make some wild exaggerations in this thread.

No such thing as illegal porn tbqhwyf

I smell morality over here.

The thing about surveillance is that its used primarily to quash activism and opposition. Taking away the oppositions means of living(large corporations stop employing workers who spend too much time viewing blacklisted content) would do immense damage in the formation towards any sort of opposition. May seem exaggerated now, but I feel this is a very realistic future.

You're right about the porn, but they don't actively need to think the communism stuff REALLY matters to go "eh, just in case, I need to toss out 90% of these just to get the interviews down to a manageable level anyways."
I once saw a hiring manager say just tossed every other resume because he didn't want to hire anyone that was unlucky.

How is this possible if they don't have your IP addresses?

luck is a fucking religious concept almost, that guy was a loony

It's based off your google account.

The problem can be solved by not using your google account or putting a different google account on your resume.

The uproar over google hire is that it causes a slippery slope.

KEK, I was thinking of that post. Someone have that btw?

They already do this with credit ratings. You essentially can't have any kind of normal life in this country if you have bad credit. I't as bad as being a felon.

Eh, he does need to clear out a bunch of applicants just to get them down to interviewable levels, and you know, if it by any chance DOES happen to exist, anyone unlucky would certainly end up in the "toss" pile

It's just google's version of Linkedin and a job board. Stop falling for the fake news viral bait from the Sun (lol).

Yeah, I'm fucked.

This would be like not having a public Facebook or not giving it to your employer. I would think there would be huge legal issue with companies trying to require this. It would be like them demanding to search your house.

...

Don't use it dumbass.

lol they already do that in some places and you have no fucking recourse

But that's wrong, you fucking retard.

...

Well considering that ISP's can already sell your data, I'm sure it would be useful for large corporations. They wouldn't request info if they could purchase it for cheap and avoid all talks of privacy concerns.

This is getting hot. Is my life a brazzers video now?

But that needs money. They'd just dump any resume that doesn't have a Google email attached into the trash instead.

Thats probably whats gonna happen.

I have never heard of a company requiring you give them your Facebook. No one has ever told me this, It's another matter if you have it in your real name and make it public.

Joke's on them, I'm unemployable anyway.

Well, less "give us your facebook" and more "look you up on facebook, if you don't have a public profile into the trash your resume goes."

This is something i've heard of from hiring managers.

We're reaching the point when i regret there aren't amish to join in my country

I just got an internship and theres a facebook of me out there from when I was a stupid internet flamer and the facebooks public

Although the internship was with a left wing non profit soo…….

My understanding is it's USUALLY more "is this person posting pictures of themselves getting blackout drunk every weekend? awesome!"

Oh yeah. That is what they go after more. I don't honestly know why employers care what their employees do off duty, especially if the employee comes to work on time and does a good job. If they want to kill their liver thats their own problem.

Because there's so many applicants that why not just toss out anyone who's even got a 10% chance of causing problems

R-right gguys??

that game was great.

Good thing I'm not logged into CancerMail 24/7

That shit is still associated to your IP.

...

lol if you think they'll tell you why as opposed to just never calling you back

For the thousandth time they'd have to buy it. That costs money to buy it from your ISP.

What a pleb move

I can't wait for

Most of my search queries aren't directly though google anyway.

Tell them they can fuck right off. I wouldn't want to work for a company that delved so deeply into your personal life.

Yeah well, people gotta eat. Sometimes its impossible to tell companies to fuck off if everyone is doing it.

They probably wouldn't even tell you they'd just never give you a callback

Depending on how hard google and companies push for this, it may just become standard and every company does it, just like how every company does a criminal background check and all but the lowest frycook jobs do drug testing. I hate to sound slippery-slopey but this is a nice transition into getting society to self-censor itself from wrong think by normalizing avoidance "objectionable" information and content for fear of social and financial ramifications. Entire [important] sectors of the job market could become [even worse] witch hunts overnight like teaching. Fuck there have already been teachers fired for stripping in college, now we might have perfectly fine people excluded from getting a job because insane parents don't want a communist or furry teaching their kids long division.

Don't worry though. Having your privacy completely commodified is 1000000000% voluntary and shit!

Daily reminder that this will be the norm in 20 years.

Also make sure to google "I know you can read everything I type, fuck you" atleast once a day.

Chilling effect has been confirmed by studies, this is not about a slippery slope so much as about that it allready now will activly harm free expression and will force people to self censor.

Not surprising. This is why the cybercommons have to be claimed for the people and these rent-seeking ghouls destroyed. The road to socialism goes over the carcasses of the megacorporations and their lackeys.

Tfw Everyone called me weird for using Bing.

I'd honestly recommend using startpage or duckduckgo. There's no guarantee it doesn't use more obfuscated means of tracking, but it's better than google/bing/yahoo by measures.
Also a reminder to use Privacy Badger

What kind of porn do yall reckon those google folk are into?

Wait a minute

Don't tell me you guys are always logged in to your gmail while browsing and searching

Surely you guys only are logged in to check mail

Wait a minute, you can stay logged into gmail?

Yes. This seems like a very trustworthy article and not baseless clickbait at all.
Although we all should be using something like startpage.com/ anyway.

We cyberpunk now

...

I dun think you can use the addons if you sign out. It autodeletes them or some shit. Google's a fuckwad.

Do we have any infographs about counterespionage. Because let's face it, that's precisely what this is.

You have to be logged into your Google Account all the time to be logged into your YouTube account

I don't want to sound like I'm defending Google on this, but I looked up this story, and it seems to all come from one RT article basically provided no evidence that there was any plans to do this, just that they COULD do this.

I'm as concerned about internet privacy as anyone else (I pretty much use Tor and VPNs all the time, and given Google basically zero personal information), but I have a hard time believing they would actually do something like this. There's really no gain, and if anyone got wind that Google were doing this (it would be easy fuck to leak), I really can't imagine anyone using it.

Honestly, this just seems like really shitty clickbait. That said, I still feel uncomfortable with the idea.

if an employer can see my intenet history im getting fired and never getting hired again

seriously, use a fucking vpn, firefox, ublock origin and duckduckgo.
keep your log in sessions separate from your other activities. normal persona (facebook, youtube, gmail) -> normal tab
lefty shit, porn, anything that could be incriminating -> private tab

make a new gmail account, make it your lefty dumpster, use it to watch lefty videos on jewtube.

Also, the article is either satire or fake news, for now.

I only stay logged in for doing everyday "normal" things.

When it comes to questionable searches, sites etc. I always switch to incognito which automatically logs out of your gmail account.

It's not much but it gives me some peace of mind. However, I'm thinking of switching to using a vpn full-time now as the level of intrusion suggested in the OP is just fucking ridiculous.

The future will be fucking terrifying

Like they give a shit. Feel free to starve instead.

Don't worry, capitalism will destroy the environment and collapse society relatively soon, so we'll probably die before it gets too bad.

Just vote with your dollar, my man.

Gotta love the commodification of privacy.
