Meh. Same shit different era.

A) Certain people in corporations can't wrap their heads around the fact that others don't define themselves by their jobs and feel no loyalty to a company that will likely lay them off before retirement anyway.

As a consequence these HR types are unable to distinguish between "on the clock" and "off the clock" behavior and can not determine whether or not a person's blog, Facebook, whatever reflects a person's professional behavior.

B) If you're a lying, cheating, backstabbing dickhead then by all means advertise this fact publicly. No one wants to work with you because you don't hold yourself to a higher standard - unless you're a CEO of a major "three letter" bank that is.

C) The legitimate profiling is for targeted advertisements. The other data mining is for blackmail purposes vis-a-vi insurance, law enforcement, credit scores and so forth. Meh.
