I don't see where massive amounts of fraud have anything to do with basic human rights to privacy and being treated ethically. In fact, massive amounts of fraud is just a thing people say when they want to distract from something else that constitutes inexcusable corporate cultural behavior.
How does seeing the room a person is in prevent fraud? "I see you have a different room than the one I saw when I spied through your window, so I know you're lying about who you are"?
That’s identification. It doesn’t account for other modes such as candidates having people “coach” them in real-time, either virtually or in the room. Yes, it absolutely does happen. The risk/reward of “cheating” a job interview is fantastic from the candidates perspective.

This made me wonder: when you chat with a colleague over VC, how much does their room's state influence your impression of your colleague?
I ended up blocking boredpanda.com from my Google news feed as every day there was some variant on "52 times someone did something negative to someone else".
