From a legal perspective can't they be liable for helping employers and landlords break federal law? Since we have EEOC, Fair Housing Act, etc.?

- dmoy 10y agoI think this company is UK based. Dunno what the law is there regarding this.
- ams6110 10y agoProfessional landlords are already googling and searching facebook for their prospective tenants. Criminal records are pretty much all online now also. And many landlords and employers contract private background checking services already. This service doesn't offer much new.
- AJ007 10y agoIn part it depends how they advertise the service. I've seen issues with both an apartment rental site and a credit report/background check company. It is one of those things where the company pays a small(ish) fine, but if they ever do it again they will be in really big trouble. Being very imprecise with this comment, but yeah, I think you are right. At the least the employers or landlords are breaking the law if they are using data or requirements which unnecessarily bias their selection based on ethnicity or gender.
