Disparate treatment on the basis of protected and usually immutable characteristics, is literally illegal, all the sort of mental gymnastics do not matter, that's literally what the law is.

Encouraging specific people to submit applications is not illegal. Even based on those characteristics.

    Spamming the same bad-faith argument over and over in this thread on an account you clearly solely created for this purpose does not make it more true.

    It's literally not illegal. Me telling my friends they should apply to some job is not illegal.

      You telling certain friends, but not others, based on characteristics named in the 1964 civil rights act, as part of your job requirements, would likely be illegal. In your free time without occupational incentive? Sure.

        No it would not be illegal. What happens if all my friends happen to be black? I can never tell anyone about a job opportunity ever again? Have we taken a step back and actually thought about the things we're saying?

        When is it ever a job responsibility to tell your friends about job opportunities & no one else?

  No that is also illegal. You can not target advertisements based on protected characteristics. > the Justice Department secured a settlement agreement with Meta (formerly Facebook) in February 2025, alleging that Meta’s ad delivery system used machine-learning algorithms relying on Fair Housing Act (FHA)-protected characteristics such as race, national origin, and sex to determine who saw housing ads

    Securement of a settlement proves literally nothing.

    It would take a lengthy essay to explain all the ways you've misunderstood how the law works in the United States, but in summary FHA rules only apply to FHA cases, Furthermore, you seem to be conflating different meanings of the word "advertisement" where the one you've chosen to support your point is a broad meaning that would seem to make Barbie commercials that feature only girls illegal (which is obviously not the case).

    You're asserting that the Fair Housing Act applies to tech recruiting?
