I'm pleased to see FB warning employers not to ask for Facebook passwords. And their observation that it's an invasion of privacy that could open up legal liabilities is a good one (e.g., if the FB profile or posts included information about a person's religion, requiring them to reveal it could lead to a claim that they weren't hired because of their religion). (Note: a number of companies side-step this by hiring 3rd parties to do reviews, looking for identified criteria; I think there's still room for concern here.)<\/p>\n

Of course FB has a vested interest here — if people get scared of using FB openly because their future employers might ask to see those wild and crazy post and pictures, that hurts FB, too. #ddtb<\/p>\n

More and more employers are apparently asking applicants for their facebook passwords. Facebook issued a response today saying that it's an invasion of privacy and possibly illegal. Have you or anyone you know experienced this? Would you be willing to sign over your passwords to your social media accounts to get a job?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
