Since Mark Zuckerberg has single handedly done more good for humanity than the entire field of sociology, I wonder what you want to imply.
That academia may be a little less biased than the company that is using our profile data to make money.

Sociologists and marginalized people. As a young man I had a few friends and acquaintances who intimated that they had been stalked. My ex wife shared a story of being stalked by a deputy sheriff. And I can’t recall now but she may have been underage at the time to boot. Pretty quickly I saw a pattern. People who don’t want privacy have never cared about someone who really needed it. Or needed it themselves. If you t…
In the USA, homosexuals earned legal rights because they were forced out of hiding by violent police, leading them to fight back, win allies, and secure rights. Having secrecy also forces secrecy, weakening political power. It's a bloody war for sure, but a winnable war with long-term improvement.
Facebook is chock full of information that is illegal to ask about in job applications like marital and family status, sexual orientation, age, religion, etc. If this feature saw much adoption it seems like it would only result in greater discrimination. Beyond that, this move is surprising to me because we've been seeing a lot of stories lately about Facebook struggling to get people to post original content after l…
While I generally agree with the sentiment that facebook and job sites are like oil and water, how would discrimination with this tool work differently than just searching for an applicant on facebook today? I wouldn't imagine this information would be surfaced alongside the resume, so it would still require an employer to actively take steps to discriminate.
It's different because there weren't hundreds of people working on and marketing a tool that actively couples this behavior with actual hirings. Now, there are.
This is soo wrong. This will consolidate a 2 class work world. One that deserves to be on LinkedIn and one that is only present on Facebook. Even worse, those in the "lower" class even have to deal with their job life creeping into their private lives. Really stupid, everybody should have both a LinkedIn and a Facebook account.
I don't understand this complaint. Facebook should avoid offering job advertisements because... some people won't use it out of their own choice, therefore classism? Maybe I'm misinterpreting, but I can't follow the logic. Both LinkedIn and Facebook accounts are free for anyone to create and use to their full extent. How is this service not a net positive if it gets people legitimate jobs? Is that not competition? Is…
I mean looking at so called Temp Work companies: in some sense they arbitrate jobs. Most of those happen to be quite low end. Speaking of Germany, when these are "hands-on positions" in big companies they compete with non-temp people. The difference is that they have worse pay, less insurance coverage and generally less say.
Others already made statistics and articles about this topics. It seems the workers loose.
