New 2026 lawsuit shows companies, including Fortune 500 companies are using an AI software that automatically filters out job applicants based on personal data

The AI takes your location info, social media posts, even web searches and automatically rejects your job application (INSANE)

“If you've been applying to any corporate jobs lately, the reason you got rejected or never even received a response is far crazier than you ever could have thought. A lawsuit just exposed Eightfold AI, the company Microsoft and many other giants use to score your application.

And in that lawsuit, they're saying that Eightfold AI is not doing what we all thought, which was just kind of processing your application and giving you a little score.

They're actually taking all the data they can find about you; your location history, your web searches, your social profiles, files, combining all of it and giving you a score, 0 out of 5.

And if you have a low one, they're not ever gonna look at you. So yeah, now we have a social credit score for applications”

Here’s more information:

It’s a real class-action lawsuit filed in 2026 against Eightfold AI. They are a major AI-powered hiring platform used by companies like Microsoft, PayPal, Morgan Stanley, Starbucks, Chevron, Bayer and more

Secret scoring system works like this

Eightfold’s tools allegedly generate a “Match Score” or “likelihood of success” score from 0 to 5 for applicants

Low-scoring candidates are often automatically filtered out automatically before any human recruiter sees their application

The AI supposedly uses extensive data collections and aggregates far more than just your resume and over letter. This includes:

- Social media profiles (e.g., LinkedIn)
- Location and history data
- Internet activity including web searches
- Other third-party tracking data, the suit mentions vast datasets with 1.5+ billion data points

There is no transparency or recourse

Applicants allegedly aren’t notified, given a chance to review/correct the data, or informed of adverse actions

The plaintiffs argue violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) and California’s Investigative Consumer Reporting Agencies Act

This should definitely be banned

Nail salons in America are using cost cutting measures that many would consider extremely unsanitary if they knew

Many salons are taking the hot wax used on feet, putting it into buckets and re-melting it to reuse on customers. It’s extremely common

The paraffin wax is used for pedicures that can cost $55-$100+ and you would think it’s clean, but it’s very common to be reused wax from other people’s feet

The best way around this is to look for salons that explicitly advertise “single-use” or “never reused” paraffin as a selling point for hygiene

The reused wax can potentially transfer bacteria and fungi leading to infections, especially if you have cuts, dry or cracked skin, diabetes, or compromised immunity

This is gross

Town of Cary spent $330,000 on dance videos of themselves at the expense of taxpayers? @NCAuditorBoliek you need to see this. They want to raise our property taxes while wasting our money on vanity videos and limos.

North Carolina State Auditor Dave Boliek lays down the law about what will happen if you defraud the taxpayers of our state. Boliek & his team have recently uncovered a 47,000% spike in Medicaid autism therapy billings in the past 5 years. Crickets from Governor Josh Stein (D).

@NCEmergency having boats not tied down in a VE zone is worse! What about the seabreeze neighborhood????

[Patrice @pimomofficial]

@NCEmergency We can’t shake it off when we now know New Hanover County does NOT ENFORCE FEMA RULES IN VE ZONES!!!! Surprise surprise All they do is say dumb stuff like this tweet that offers zero help

[Patrice @pimomofficial]

@NCEmergency Get the untied boats and trailers removed from the illegal boatyard in the Seabreeze neighborhood!

[Patrice @pimomofficial]

@DareCountyGovt @NCEmergency While Dare County declares a State of Emergency and orders evacuations for Hurricane Erin,
📍 New Hanover County is still approving illegal boat and trailer storage in VE flood zones — no tie-downs, no FEMA compliance, and no accountability
