Entertaining your supposition, how would one even filter out such candidates?
- mmmeff 7y agoFirst, I'd start by building a product ecosystem that becomes an inescapable cornerstone for all communication and information retrieval in the modern technological age. Second, I'd work to track users' every move around my various products in the name of "advertisement" to make my investors happy and rich. Lastly, I'd start bowing to external governmental pressure and abusing all of the vast swathes of data I've gathered to become a mass surveillance arm of every superpower. Now let's just do a quick "Background" check on every candidate's name, email address, social media and github usernames. Oh look, they post on Twitter about politics an average of 30 times a day and our ML models mark them as 82% likely to increase workplace dissent. Immediate disqualification.

- sangnoir 7y agoI'm sure Palantir or the current incarnation of Cambridge Analytica can whip-up an "employee background check" service that can sniff out inchoate SJW-ism from "edgy" tumblr posts from 2002 or liking American Idiot on MySpace.
- Thriptic 7y agoYou do a basic background check and investigation which I'm sure Google already does and just add strong political opinions as a parameter to flag. If you're willing to protest against your employer then you are probably already sharing strong opinions on things like social media so these individuals should be detectable.
