And that's exactly what I'm getting at. Once you establish that there has been a breach of law, you _have_ to take the context/wording into account, which is highly "slimy" on its own merit, as the grandparent post puts it, and turns what might otherwise be a "don't word your hiring practices in such a way or collude them between companies" reprimand into a "you're clearly doing really underhanded things, and are even _self effacing_ about this" (citing the "let's not put on paper something we could get sued over" memos)
I (as an engineer) have my "jimmies rustled" because this sets a really worrying precedent for the behaviors of these companies I do/might work for, and is frankly the sort of behavior that makes me have implicitly low trust for people with this sort of power, which is an unfortunate state of things. (I'd really like to be able to trust people, I promise...)
