If the people were concerned about privacy, so would the government. Those of us in the industry are somewhat concerned, at least more than the general public. Such is life......
This isn't new!
Larger and medium-sized corporations have been using credit reports on applicants routinely for more than a dozen years.
While not the end-all and be-all, they are indicative of personal responsibility, which is important to employers and even a potential date, lol. Yes, by all means throw in the cancer angle. That is surely something that fits most applicants! A history of not paying ones bills, of bankruptcy and the like is a good character quantifier.
International bodies, for the most part, do not work well. Stability and continuity do. Anything to do with the Internet will always polarize opinions in the tech world, for they are selfish concerns, depending on the area one works in. Control, no matter who has it, there will be those who feel slighted, or less than, even if the reality is they haven't been slighted.
The simple fact that some will have irrational concerns because it is the U.S. with control clearly shows why the United States should keep that control. Given the world climate, and the very real possibilites for disruptions, are there really those out there wanting an equal vote in management going to China, North Korea or even Greenland? Get real!

Yes, what a model!!
I hardly think gathering "staffers", employees, from around the world, is outside-the-box thinking, LMAO!
LOL

Yes, they (the "People") have rights.
To life, liberty and the persuit of happiness.
Unfortunately, we do not seem to regard an expectation of privacy as very important....
Wrong. Inquiries from employers do not count, nor do they "show" on your credit application history.

Hell, the interests of the DofC are not necessarily in the best interests of the rest of the government of the United States!
