Malicious compliance is when you comply to the letter with the intention of interfering, as with industrial safety rules. This is simply compliance to the letter without complying with the spirit -- maybe. If these positions are posted on their main job portal, then I would argue they are complying with the spirit of the law, but the law's letter is lagging behind technological reality. In any case, their act lacks the malicious component of malicious compliance. I.e. they aren't impeding some other process by the act of posting these job ads. It's not the same thing.
