What the heck? If I am looking for a job I certainly don’t want to share all the bad things in my facebook and myspace accounts. Hmmm maybe people should re-think what they do online a bit
No more hiding behind passwords!
HELENA, Mont. (AP) — Job applicants with the city of Bozeman are finding that their private Internet discussions and pictures may not be so private after all.
The city is asking job seekers for the user names and passwords to Internet social networking or Web groups to which they belong. The decision is sparking an outcry from those who say the policy goes way too far.
The issue has spawned hundreds of comments on Web forums and sharp criticism from legislators and the ACLU.
“I liken it to them saying they want to look at your love letters and your family photos,” said Amy Cannata, with the American Civil Liberties Union of Montana. “I think this policy certainly crosses the privacy line.”
