What does this say about the companies that they cannot be bothered to interview properly?

That they make decisions based on vague interpretation of information that may not be accurate or even about the same person (because they have the same name) or worse still a name that they misspelt.

Maybe I should make an ethical judgement about a company and their senior management (their political affiliations’ including their immediate family) based on the information I find on the internet regardless of whether its true or not. A sound unprofessional doesn’t it? Would you want to work for such a company

This is just lazy decision making because they don't want to make the effect to assess people properly. Perhaps if they put as much effect in being ethical themselves, then they would not have to use so much PR.

I am surprised that silicon has not thought through all sides to this, not asking those they interviewed if they had considered the impact (legal and otherwise) of their methodology.
