Some Employers, Schools Demand Facebook Logins
This short article is about employers, and even some schools searching for loopholes around Facebook's privacy settings. Some employers and schools are demanding that they must become friends on Facebook, asking for a tour of their account, or even asking for usernames and passwords. I personally think this is getting a little out of hand, as your Facebook is based around your social life, and everyone's social life is different from their work life. Although you can tell a lot about someone through their Facebook, I do not feel that an acceptance to a school should be denied for some bad pictures or something like that on Facebook. Some colleges in the States such as, the University of North Carolina require student athletes to "friend" a coach or school official to monitor their Facebook, and if they refuse, they don't play. I understand these concepts, but I find that is a bit ridiculous that a coach, or student official who you have just met must monitor your Facebook often, or you don't play.
