That's not the point. YC lends credibility to these companies by funding them, so allowing them to post illegal job ads on a platform controlled by YC strongly implies that YC has no problem with that practice.
This is the appropriate venue to talk about it and make YC aware of it.
- drstewart 4y agoIt's not YC's job to monitor global regulatory compliance for every company they fund.
- matsemann 4y agoBut when YC posts these ads on their HN front page..?
- fipar 4y agoWe're not talking global compliance here though, this is a US-based fund, these are US-based startups, and the regulations involved are by some US states. One would hope national regulatory compliance does fall at least partially under the things they monitor. I agree it's unrealistic to expect them to monitor compliance across the globe, of course.
