No we don't, in fact not fixing this provides plausible deniability which in many cases is more valuable.
- cs137 4y agoPlausible deniability for whom? Employers? Which side are you on? If we don't regulate employers and the decisions they make, people will continue being denied jobs for stupid reasons. In the ongoing war against fascism, moderation is no virtue and extremity is no vice.
- aeternum 4y agoIf being denied jobs is the main concern it's much more effective to change your legal name to one that is slightly more common vs. try to scrub the internet of information. If you somehow succeed in regulating google, I as an employer will simply search for your name using Baidu, Yandex, or Naver. Good luck getting all of them to play along with your particular censorship ask.
