Facebook, perhaps anxious to avoid public controversy as it prepares for a
much-publicized initial public offering, is moving to squelch a widely
reported practice of employers asking job applicants for their Facebook
passwords.
.
If you are a Facebook user, you should never have to share your password,
let anyone access your account, or do anything that might jeopardize the
security of your account or violate the privacy of your friends, Erin
Egan, Facebooks chief privacy officer, wrote in a March 23 note. As a
user, you shouldnt be forced to share your private information and
communications just to get a job.
.
Egan also hinted at the legal repercussions: If an employer sees on
Facebook that someone is a member of a protected group [e.g., over a
certain age, etc.], that employer may open themselves up to claims of
discrimination if they dont hire that person.
.

Moreover, a congressional bill that would stop employers from logging into
prospective employees Facebook pages is apparently in the works, courtesy
of Senator Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.), who told Politico March 21 that a
piece of legislation to that effect would arrive in the near future. The
political-news Website also paraphrases the senator as comparing the
practice to that of polygraph tests, which are banned as a method for
screening job applicants.
