How is this even enforced tho?
I appreciate the sentiment though. Recruiters add so much girft into the process... All to wear done the wagie
They'll likely rely on reports from the public. I don't imagine this is intended to go after individuals, but rather,, companies that buy fake reviews by the hundreds.
Probably via some attempt to force everyone to verify who they are online by providing their identification documents. It will probably be managed by some company specialized in handling that data, and of course willing to share the data with police and other gov organizations. Data that will be used to track citizens.
Just another endless battle to keep net neutrality alive.
