Can you explain the exact way in which this is possible? It’s not legal to be denied jobs based on health. Not to deny insurance

And how would you know what they base their hiring upon? You would just get a generic automated response..

You would not be privy to their internal processes, and thusfar not be able to prove wrong doing. You would just have to hope for a new Snowden and that the found wrongdoings would actually be punished this time.

There is a vast gap between what is not legal and what is actually actionable in a court of law, which is well known to a large power nexus.

The US has been pretty much a free-for-all for surveillance and abusing all sorts of information, even when illegal to do so. On the rare occasions that they get caught, the penalty is almost always a handslap, and they know it.

How are you ever going to prove this?

You just get an automated denial from the ATS that's based on the output from AI inference engine.

The ADA made it illegal to discriminate against job seekers for health conditions and ObamaCare made it illegal to base cover and rates on pre-existing conditions.

What are the chances those bills last long in the current administration and supreme court?
