Glassdoor Under Fire: Anonymous Review Site Now Adds Real Names, Sparking Privacy Concerns

Remember Glassdoor, the go-to platform for anonymous employee reviews? It's been a haven for millennials seeking honest insights into company culture and work experiences. But buckle up because things just got messy.

• Goodbye Anonymity? Glassdoor is now adding real names to user profiles, raising serious concerns about user privacy. This could potentially expose reviewers to identification and retaliation by employers, especially for negative reviews.

• Reviewing the Reviewers? The company claims this name-adding is necessary for verification on its recently integrated app, Fishbowl, a professional networking platform. However, users are reporting inaccuracies in the information Glassdoor pulls in and a lack of control over their own data. There are also concerns that this data merging between Glassdoor and Fishbowl could make user information more vulnerable to legal requests or data breaches.

• Caught in the Middle? While Glassdoor has a history of defending its users' anonymity in court, some users are feeling betrayed by this new policy. Many are deleting their accounts or resorting to workarounds to erase their data entirely.

Why this matters: We value transparency in the workplace, and Glassdoor has long been a trusted source for honest reviews from current and former employees. This shift in policy raises concerns about user privacy and the potential for employer retaliation. If you rely on Glassdoor for job hunting or plan to leave a review, be aware of the new risks associated with using the platform. It's important to weigh the potential benefits of anonymity against the potential consequences before posting a review.

Opinion: Why social entrepreneurs must lead the way through the AI moral maze

Social enterprises are all about good, but a new tech wave - Artificial Intelligence (AI) - throws a curveball. While AI promises efficiency and progress, ethical tech specialist James Gauci warns of hidden dangers. Here's a quick breakdown:

• AI and Job Losses: AI is replacing workers, especially in tech sectors like sales and marketing. This could disproportionately hurt vulnerable populations already struggling to find work. Social enterprises meant to empower these groups need to tread carefully.

• Big Tech's Questionable Practices: Training AI can involve exploitation. For instance, some companies pay mere pennies to workers in developing countries for critical AI training tasks. Social enterprises built on ethical principles should avoid replicating such practices.

• AI's Environmental Footprint: The massive energy demands of AI systems threaten to derail environmental goals. Data centers guzzle energy, and the rapid growth of AI could lead to a surge in energy consumption. Social enterprises focused on sustainability need to consider this environmental cost.

• The Unknown and Unforeseen: Powerful AI could have unintended consequences. What if AI prioritizes its own goals over human well-being? Social enterprises should prioritize responsible AI development to minimize risks like bias, discrimination, and privacy violations.

Why this matters: We value social good, and social enterprises are often at the forefront of positive change. This article highlights the potential downsides of AI, urging social enterprises to be thoughtful about adopting this technology. If you work for or support a social enterprise, be aware of these risks and advocate for responsible AI development. By approaching AI cautiously and prioritizing ethics, social enterprises can harness its power for good without compromising their core values.
