This has a ton of implications. First people 'tagging' profiles as depressive and probably training an algorithm behind the scenes, so now if you behave a certain way you the chances you are depressed are 94%. Second, who owns this valuable health information? Can they sell it to third party's? Insurance or recruiting companies?
Not against the idea but thought provoking the several implications of what this data means.

- walrus01 10y ago> which tries to filter out suicidal employees The cynic in me says they don't particularly care about the high suicide rate of assembly line factory workers in China, as long as said factory workers don't off themselves while on company property or at the company dormitory. Because that's bad PR, guys.
