"Pre-Crime" Comes To the HR Dept.
storagedude writes "Like something out of the Steven Spielberg movie Minority Report, a startup called Social Intelligence is mining social media to weed out job applicants based on their potential for violence, drug abuse or just plain bad judgment. The startup also combs sites like Facebook and Twitter to monitor current employees, presumably to monitor compliance with company social media policy, but as the criteria are company-defined, anything's possible. Just one more reason to watch what you post, folks."
not hard to guess whois next? the hate can't get any bigger than this?

meanwhile (as it may take a while longer to finish wrecking this place); the corepirate nazi illuminati is always hunting that patch of red on almost everyones' neck. if they cannot find yours (greed, fear ego etc...) then you can go starve. that's their (slippery/slimy) 'platform' now. see also: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antisocial_personality_disorder
never a better time to consult with/trust in our creators. the lights are coming up rapidly all over now. see you there?
greed, fear & ego (in any order) are unprecedented evile's primary weapons. those, along with deception & coercion, helps most of us remain (unwittingly?) dependent on its' life0cidal hired goons' agenda. most of our dwindling resources are being squandered on the 'wars', & continuation of the billionerrors stock markup FraUD/pyramid schemes. nobody ever mentions the real long term costs of those debacles in both life & any notion of prosperity for us, or our children. not to mention the abuse of the consciences of those of us who still have one, & the terminal damage to our atmosphere (see also: manufactured 'weather', hot etc...). see you on the other side of it? the lights are coming up all over now. the fairytail is winding down now. let your conscience be your guide. you can be more helpful than you might have imagined. we now have some choices. meanwhile; don't forget to get a little more oxygen on your brain, & look up in the sky from time to time, starting early in the day. there's lots going on up there.
"The current rate of extinction is around 10 to 100 times the usual background level, and has been elevated above the background level since the Pleistocene. The current extinction rate is more rapid than in any other extinction event in earth history, and 50% of species could be extinct by the end of this century. While the role of humans is unclear in the longer-term extinction pattern, it is clear that factors such as deforestation, habitat destruction, hunting, the introduction of non-native species, pollution and climate change have reduced biodiversity profoundly.'

"I think the bottom line is, what kind of a world do you want to leave for your children," Andrew Smith, a professor in the Arizona State University School of Life Sciences, said in a telephone interview. "How impoverished we would be if we lost 25 percent of the world's mammals," said Smith, one of more than 100 co-authors of the report. "Within our lifetime hundreds of species could be lost as a result of our own actions, a frightening sign of what is happening to the ecosystems where they live," added Julia Marton-Lefevre, IUCN director general. "We must now set clear targets for the future to reverse this trend to ensure that our enduring legacy is not to wipe out many of our closest relatives."--

no need to confuse 'religion' with being a spiritual being. our soul purpose here is to care for one another. failing that, we're simply passing through (excess baggage) being distracted/consumed by the guaranteed to fail illusionary trappings of man'kind'. & recently (about 10,000 years ago) it was determined that hoarding & excess by a few, resulted in negative consequences for all.
consult with/trust in your creators. providing more than enough of everything for everyone (without any distracting/spiritdead personal gain motives), whilst badtolling unprecedented evile, using an unlimited supply of newclear power, since/until forever. see you there?

Why don't you tell that to the families of people that have died from work violence. You know, the type that show up with a gun and start shooting people. Want to bet many had good job performance reviews?
Bet you don't care about those people though do you. Let them die is your motto. Just don't fuck with anything that YOU consider private. EVEN if you post it online.
I can understand the argument of people getting set up. All I have to do is look at fuck wads like you to see that possibility. But to arrogantly say, all that matters is job performance?
Asshole. Seriously, what a mother fucking asshole.

Hey "dumb fuck", were you absent the numerous times Facebook has turned on spiffy new "features" which pretty much ignore the privacy settings?
Either that, or they just sign up as an "advertiser" who Facebook will happily sell all your details to.
It used to be that only people who were applying for sensitive jobs that had their credit checked. Now, if you're applying to be a machinist you better make sure that you've never been late on a payment. They do it because they can. It's the New Feudalism and the poster boy is John Boehner. The "Second American Revolution" is nothing short of a renegotiation of the social contract. Work camps are already back in style, now run by private corporations instead of Mississippi chain gang bosses. Count on seeing the widespread return of work camps and ten percent unemployment being the new normal. Because it's good for business.
That was the biggest pile of steaming crap I've ever read on this shithole.
Maybe you shouldn't do any of those stupid things. You don't have to go to parties and act stupid and if you decide to go to parties and act stupid then you live with the consequences.
I think you're missing the point. Alot of things can be taken out of context or you could be discriminated against just for the way you live. I could be the most productive person in the world and also spend every night at a rave, why does it matter to my employer if im a lush outside of work if I do my work well?
This just highlights how corporations are moving in on areas they should have absolutely no say in. Between this and FICO scores determining who is hire-able, we're on the road to causing long term harm to people's livelihoods over a simple mistake, misunderstanding, or simply someone not liking you.
This trend scares me. Alot.
So stop living like a moron and you wont be discriminated against. Live your job.
Typical hypocrite slash doter. Run to bigoted comments when all else fails.
Do you type Niger and fagot as a AC because your a fucking coward to?
This I freely say and am more than willing for anyone to see, including where I work. The only good bigot is a dead one. I would pay to watch the people you seem to hate so much kill you in the most painful way.

Why? Because I don't hold your views? To bad coward.

You do realize coward that the parent is a primary example of why companies SHOULD be data mining FaceBook and other web sites about their employees. MaskedSlacker is a primary example of someone that should not be hired based on his online postings.
Postings such as that show the possibility of hostility to fellow workers or customers because of their sexual preferences. How many customers will be lost because of this hostility. Will MaskedSlacker attack someone they work with because he doesn't agree with their sexual preference.
But in typical slash dot mentality, nobody cares about that. But everyone here will be the first to complain when masked slacker or someone like them does cause law suits or harm to someone. The company should have recognized the behavior. The company should have never hired the person.
Your an idiot.

Its also a way to identify fucking bigots. Just watch the fucking bigoted comments that appear on this forum.
How many Niger comments do you see posted here. How many people are openly anti gay.Sorry, bull shit argument. To many posters here should never be hired because of their bigoted attitudes. And all you are doing is supporting them.
By stating that things they make public should not be public to the companies they work for. Double standard here?

Cretin? Your nothing but a hypocrite. Spouting off about bigots and then supporting them. Not to smart are you.

The day she dies, there will be weeping across the nation. And they will be tears of joy, apart from the sort of quivering arseholes who sadly still run this country.
To have a right to do a thing is not at all the same as to be right in doing it
Closet bigot are you?

Yea, I do believe that the death I described should be one of the official penalties for hate crimes. Allow the victims to return the hate that has been directed at them in as vicious of a manner as possible.
Coporal punishment for hate crimes. And yes, I would pay to see him die in the method I described.

I fail to see why its such a bad thing that you don't get hired by some jackass who doesn't like you.
I'm pretty sure you're retarded if you want to force your way into working somewhere you aren't wanted.
