It took the original as well as your quote, but my hot-take is: FB loves to automate; FB wants to scale hiring; FB automates an annoying process. Oops, that step (done automatically) is technically illegal. However, it probably never really came up in review or was optimistically ignored.

I'm torn between the "FB should be allowed to scale!" side vs the protectionist "Forcing higher demand would materially impact my personal wages in this profession."

IANAL or a FB employee.
