> If your transhumanist religion compels you to share PII with your machines in a way which breaks the law, then there's likely an undue burden.

Some modern recording laws are not made with a machine component in mind, even if that machine is a local first-party system and does not actually store anything long-term or propagate information any further. A cyborg-identifying person with a wearable speech processor may rightfully argue such laws are unfairly preventing their functioning, as they’re lacking an important distinction.

Right, but we're talking EEOC law.

The Civil Rights Act which created the EEOC does not require or permit an employer to break the law to accommodate a request, even if it is reasonable and with no burden.

Instead, the law must be challenged directly.
