Ask HN: Should Linkein be collecting demographic data?

1 pointsby greenailover 3 years ago
I just noticed linkedin is collecting demographic data. The copy says &quot;Help promote fairness and diversity on LinkedIn by answering a few demographic questions.&quot; I&#x27;m not sure how they define fairness here or what their intent is.<p>Then it says &quot;We’ll keep your responses confidential and secure.&quot; So what do they do with this data?<p>Digging into the learn more link shows<p>&quot;We’ll use Self-ID data to:<p>Measure outcomes for different demographic groups on LinkedIn<p>Ensure our search results are fair and representative<p>Publish reports on workplace diversity trends<p>Help companies analyze their workforce composition, without revealing your name or personal information&quot;
