ACLU: Facebook Password Isn’t Your boss’ Business
I read the article: “ACLU: Facebook Password Isn’t Your
boss’ Business” This article is so relevant to today’s day in age. All of the job interviews I hold in the
future, I will probably be asked to show my Facebook or give a password so they
can get onto my Facebook.
Facebook has become such a necessary requirement to anyone
in this world for communication.
If we think back to a day without Facebook it would probably be a really
hazy memory because it is such an important feature in our life. It is on our
phones, ipads, computers, tablets, and everything that can have Wi-Fi.
Giving a boss access to your facebook account could kiss
your job goodbye. You need to have
a private life and giving him access to your life would be him knowing all the
stuff that could be personal.
Personally I am considering deleting my Facebook to avoid future
troubles I could potentially have.
You have a password for a reason; it is a privacy feature so only YOU
can have access to your account.
It is not your bosses business.
In the article it states:
"It's an invasion of privacy for private employers to
insist on looking at people's private Facebook pages as a condition of
employment or consideration in an application process," attorney Catherine
Crump said in a statement from the ACLU.
"People are entitled to their private lives."
In conclusion, I believe giving access to anyone that is not
immediately related to you is a violation of privacy and it can create serious
consequences for you in the future.
People who give out their passwords to friends create their own problems
but giving it to your boss is another story. It is technically against Facebook’s
law to give out your password to anyone.
People are breaking that law every day and it needs to be controlled
because peoples Facebooks are being hacked and it is dangerous to a person. I am almost positive I will be deleting
my facebook just because I don’t want to encounter these problems.
