You say it like it is that simple to fix; they could ask for photo in the curriculum and just discard the few that looks old, -after targeting job ads on pages that are disproportionaly "liked" by the age range they want-
The only true way to solve this is to force by law to hire older people (e.g. 30% of your workforce must be over 40); otherwise all this proxies like trying to regulate third-party ads and else its just an endless cat-and-mouse game.
- mattmanser 9y agoIt is an easy fix. Job ads have no age options allowed. Fixed.

A US Supreme Court case comes to mind, Batson v Kentucky: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batson_v._Kentucky https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batson_v._Kentucky In which it became illegal to dismiss a juror based on race. A simple, sensible fix, which most agree did very little to stop race based discrimination from juries. Doing so just became a bit more complicated.
- cutcss 9y agoNope; you can target pages that are liked only by young people (e.g. Snapchat) and then just discard the few old people manually.
