Upon registering for an account on Clicked.com to access intro cybersecurity courses, I encountered a field inquiring about my sexual orientation. I'm uncertain as to why Clicked.com would collect such data. I wonder if this is a growing trend among career-oriented online platforms (or anything common really).
Is this asked for diversity and inclusion purposes?
Are they simply collecting data to resell or marketing purpose? What is your take on it?
It seems an irrelevant data point to me. There's no obvious reason they'd need to know that in order to provide educational services.
I'd leave that unanswered. If that's not possible and I wanted to use the service badly enough, I'd lie in the most humorous manner I could in my response to it.
