The fact that some people are okay with this absolutely baffles me.
I, too, have absolutely nothing to hide, but that doesn't mean I want to be handing out my passwords to employers. I keep my profiles clean, but private nonetheless.

Not sure the 4th Ammendment really applies to stuff you post on Facebook given that it's intended (when you post it) to be public to at least someone. Also, giving your password to your employer violates Facebook's TOS. It's already a federal crime (even though it's not prosecuted) for an employer to use your credentials to log into a social media site so it's already a crime.

I have no problem with employers looking at Facebook pages. But asking for their passwords? That crosses the line.

It concerns me that people are more worried about this than they are the police searching their homes.

I would never allow a potential employer to have any of my social media passwords. I'd rather turn down the job or quit (if it were a current employer). The fact that people are saying "well doesn't apply to me" or "I have nothing to hide" and then writing it off so to speak is completely mind blowing. Just because you say "no, you cannot search my home/car/etc" doesn't mean you're hiding something does it? So why should not allowing a employer to have your FB password? I'm really getting tired of the intellectually- disabled laws that this government keeps passing... I'm even more tired of the people that allow it to happen then do nothing about it.

Ok wait, how can they prove a facebook account is yours? I've made numerous fake accounts, either as a joke or as a back up to my own. So just cause you search for John Doe and find my picture how can you prove it's mine? Couldnt I make one with my bosses picture/name/info?
Also who will be tasked with finding your facebook? How many John Smiths are on facebook? How do you pin point which is the John Smith working in your department? I currently have a picture of a landmark on my facebook account so unless we are already friends you'd have no way to know that's MY facebook page cause the picture wont help you.
In the end couldnt I say my employer is harassing?

So the whole Facebook password thing is a gigantic kerfuffle over something that has happened in, maybe, a handful of isolated incidents. It's beyond stupid.

This is crazy. People saying they have nothing to hide or that the solution is to simply not have a Facebook makes my eyes bulge out of my head. I don't have anything extremely inappropriate on my page, but does that mean I want someone else going into it and invading my right of privacy? Should I give up my right to be a member of any internet page I choose because a future employer may want to access my account and look at all of my personal conversations? Mind boggling.

Well, if you put stuff on Facebook it's sort of public to begin with. It is social media. I probably say stuff on here that I wouldn't want my employer to read, but if they read it and I get fired for it, who's fault is that?

Viewing your public page and having your password are two very different things, though.

I don't see anything wrong with that, because like you said it is public. I do however, mind if they look at my PRIVATE messages. Sure, I don't have anything in there that could warrant them firing me, but I have some personal stuff in there that was for my (and the person I sent it too) eyes only.

That's fair enough, but like I said earlier, it's not even close to being any sort of widespread thing and it's already against federal law. Seems dumb to pass a law to make something illegal that's already illegal.
