Employers want Facebook Access

If a prospective employer wanted my password I would promptly cancel the interview. I wouldn't work for a company that it would invade my personal privacy.

If this sort of thing occurs more frequently, look for technology use to decrease exponentially.

To me, this is no different than a prospective employer tapping your phone, tailing your car or breaking into your house and reading your journal.

Yes, there are stupid people who put everything on Facebook (and out into real life, as has been since the dawn of time). However, the majority of people are discreet and know how to keep private things private - on Facebook, AND in real life. There's no reason anyone should think this is OK if they don't think having their phones tapped is OK, just because the technology makes it easy.
