Score Assured takes control of all your social media, scrapes it for keywords such as "loan," "pregnant" and, who knows, "libertarian," analyzes them and then offers a picture of the supposed real you to your potential landlord or employer.
Here's the sheer joy of it. Your potential, say, landlord sends you a request for full access to your Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn or even Tinder account.
Once you say yes, Score Assured's machines waft in and scan every word you've ever uttered in private online.
Then it filters all these words through neuro-linguistic programming and other fine software and gives a report to your landlord.
This report suggests that you'll either be a fine tenant, a not-so-fine tenant or, who knows, that you're into doing strange things with Samurai swords.
You might wonder if Score Assured feels slightly tawdry delving into your personals. Might it not feel like being a burglar going through someone's underwear drawer? Might it also be against Facebook's terms of service?
Neither Score Assured nor Facebook immediately responded to a request for comment.
You may not, however, be reassured by a comment made to The Washington Post by Score Assured's UK-based co-founder, Steve Thornhill: "If you're living a normal life, then, frankly, you have nothing to worry about."

For the fucktards who use social media and put their personal info, I say they got what they deserve, if your landlord finds out about your fetishes that's on you for letting it out on social media, but this is some 1984 level shit.

>1984 level shit
agreed.
what's the fucking endgame for all of this? any other tips on tightening personal privacy measures?
>>49874
Delete your Facebook account.

>request for full access to your Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn or even Tinder account.
>full access
You might as well give them the password to your accounts.

However, employers don't like seeing applicants without social media accounts. It makes them look like they are hiding something. So, either sign in and be watched or don't work.
Marketing, private business, the gov., and the narcissism of the average person have all come together to reduce privacy for everyone. Each had their own stupid goal that "didn't matter" on its own, but when put together creates a pretty shitty situation. But good luck convincing anyone that this is a bad thing. "Its not a problem if you have nothing to hide."

Signing in to social networks at work just tells the employer that you slack off on the job. If you care about your job you'd do it without any distractions.

I think you misread the above comment anon. This wasn't about signing in at work.
>employers don't like seeing applicants without social media accounts. It makes them look like they are hiding something.
If you do not have a social media account, HR and managers may think that you are hiding something. And since the job market is competitive this is a good way to get disqualified. So sign up for an account and sign in (on your on free time).

"No."
Solved.

This is the real creepy shit.
How long until someone starts a business to give you a clean, unremarkable social media presence just to serve as beige words for potential employers to glance over scanning for signs that you're a dropkick?
>>49919
you get evicted or rejected
>>49944
If that's the price of freedom.

What sort of narcissistic degenerate spew their personal life onto the internet for the world to see?
What did you expect to happen other than to be judged on it?
>>49921
About 10 minutes from now
>>49988
Where have you been?

>"If you're living a normal life, then, frankly, you have nothing to worry about."
I sure do love the prospect of private corporations deciding what is a normal life and what isn't. Either way anyone stupid enough to have a facebook was already having all their information sold by Zuckerbergstein. This is just the next level of fucking them over.
>>49944
Sue them then.
>Once you say yes
Who in the actual fuck would do this?
>>49890
hello, yes, employer.
i keep trying to sign up to facebook but cant get passed their terms of agreement. fuck off.
