Red Tape - Govt. agencies, colleges demand applicants' Facebook passwords
All the obvious issues aside, what does this mean for people like me who don't have, have never have, and probably will never have a Facebook account (or any other social media accounts, really). Before a job interview I would actually have to create a Facebook account?
It's a strange world, and not in a nifty surreal way.
In Maryland, job seekers applying to the state's Department of Corrections have been asked during interviews to log into their accounts and let an interviewer watch while the potential employee clicks through wall posts, friends, photos and anything else that might be found behind the privacy wall.
Student-athletes in colleges around the country also are finding out they can no longer maintain privacy in Facebook communications because schools are requiring them to "friend" a coach or compliance officer, giving that person access to their friends-only posts.
