Some companies are asking applicants for their Facebook username and password. Don't believe me? Check out the story HERE. Has privacy gone the way of the dodo bird? Now that every single commercial on TV ends with, "Follow us on Facebook and Twitter," does that mean we have some sort of obligation to create an online identity? If so, are we also obligated to share EVERYTHING with the rest of the online world?
The answer, quite simply: NO! Of course not.
Technology is a tool -- not a means to suppress individuality. Technology should unite the world -- not divide us. Everyone should have a right to use technology as they see fit without having to worry who's looking over their shoulder, who's judging.
Regardless of whether or not you even have a Facebook, don't allow your employer abuse technology as an excuse to spy.
