That is something that came to mind for me as well. I have a FB page, but have thought of deleting it due to not really using it. What do they say to people who say they don't have a page? Come to think of it, I have a Myspace page that I don't think I've seen in a year or so and I'm not too sure I know the password anymore. I suppose I could close that thing out
--just checked my myspace page, my last status on there was June of 2010

Friend SA,
EVERY action leaves a footprint somewhere and that is what KARMA too is like.
Yes we have choices to safeguard our safety for which one should use democratic rights besides find am missing nothing much even without using facebook. Could be that am nearly 60 where a teen or young people may disagree; well finally would say, it is a choice one has to make and face its consequences consciously.
Love & rgds

It was on fire when I laid down on it.
I'll tell you what - if someone I was interviewing with, or worked for, asked for my password, I would stand up, pick up my things, walk to the door, turn around and look at them and say, "I choose not to work for a company with such a low regard for personal privacy, and frankly, with such boorish values. Good luck and good bye."
With four grown kids and seven grandkids, and a brother in Ohio and one five hours away, and cousins all over the place - and my alma mater three states away - I use Facebook extensively.
That being said, I never write a single word online in ANY capacity that wouldn't fly well in a court of law, even on personal websites. Once you write something and send it into cyberspace, there is always the chance that it will be used against you.
Caution, friends.

But the same is true of any written medium. If you mail a handwritten letter to someone, they could share the contents just as easily as if you sent it as a Facebook PM.
Of course, "Your guess is as good as mine" re: FB password would be a good answer.

Right -which is why in an earlier post I said that you should not put ANYTHING in print that you don't want spread all over the evening news or in court.
In fact, you also should be careful about how you express yourself in public - because every yahoo has a cell phone with a video camera on it.
In fact, anyone can record your words and/or actions just about anywhere without you even knowing it.
Damn.
One of the linked? articles indicated that an educator was fired for NOT giving it out to their employer on demand.
If I recall correctly, the employee wasn't suspected of doing anything wrong, but had knowledge of the "misconduct" of another employee, and the employer was fishing for information to fire that other employee.
Hence why I'd be surprised if someone willingly just gave their password out on demand

Reason, and reason again
I've seen a few jobs demand in their applications that you link them to at least one profile if yourself. This is getting ridiculous.
If that's all they want, fine - I'll let them be a connection on LinkedIn. I only use that for business stuff anyhow.

You weren't allowed to say anything relating to work at all?

For a while I thought I was too old for Facebook, and perhaps I'd missed the cut-off age. It belonged to another generation I thought. Now all my friends have accounts. My mum, aunties, and uncles use it. So, I'm not too old. Just weird or something.

As part of my job I've searched the internets a few times before applicants came in for interviews. Anything not privately set - Linked In, Twitter, Facebook, Google+, etc., is fair game to be assessed by potential employers. All we looked for were obvious signs of anything off - illegal activities, blatant negativity regarding colleagues/employers, etc. And I never found anything troublesome.
However, I can't see my company ever insisting on social media linkage. The environment here is that we're all adults, and there's no need to treat us like children who can't be trusted. But we're also in a highly competitive industry, and everyone wants to keep their jobs. I don't think there's ever been a disgruntled employee, actually.

Nothing negative that would identify where we worked.
Keep in mind, though, that this is a bank we're talking about - lots of information is confidential.
We could say things like, "Wow, we were busy today!" but were discouraged against saying things like, "Wow, we were slow today." Or "Our stock is down." Or "My manager is a real idiot." That sort of thing.
