In our middle european country there was the initiative to end the discrimination to not employ people based on various markers race, skin color, gender, sex, age, education history (maybe switiching industries in your fourties) ...

If the potential employer rejected your job application with a reason you could fight him in court for discrimination and get compensation even if the employer.

Great intention, but it backfired ... after some companies got sued for legitimate and illegitimate reasons NOBODY answers with a reason why your application was not considered. They maybe hint what was wrong or not ideal.

Germany?

I was advised by my friend in HR not to give any feedback on my rejections because it could put me in trouble.

I didn't follow her advice, but only because I haven't hired anyone, and my feedback was positive.

The reason given nowadays is always: Other aplicants were a better fit.
