I wonder whether legislation like this might have the downstream effect of finally making resumes obsolete, by essentially making them unusable. A resume is a proxy for capability, and all the information contained within only be used in a way which can be argued to be discriminatory

- unsuccessful candidate sues for proven harms, provider loses / goes bust
