Republicans, why should I have to give my username and password for facebook just to get a job? - GorillaBuddy - 10-15-2012 08:24 PM
Don't you think this is an invasion of privacy? Or is it ok when the free market does it?

Actually it is a Republican thing. If you read the article you will see that almost all of the Republicans voted in support of companies having usernames and passwords of potential employees.

that is not a republican thing. in fact no party is trying to pass a law saying that, and you don't have to if you don't want to.
but why should i have to give my name, address, and SSN?
surely you are not saying that your FB password should be protected more than your SSN are you?
EDIT- as i said. the law did not force anyone to give up a FB password, and no party is pushing such a law so you still lose.

I think it's fine if I typed in my own password and showed them, but I am not okay with giving it out.

You shouldn't. Why do you think that I as a republican would support that?
Edit: are you saying because the republicans in office voted for it, that all republican voters must support it? Do you agree with everything your elected [insert party] does?

You shouldn't. And employers don't have to hire you. See how simple that is?

If I start a business it is my capital and property at risk.........Why shouldn't I have the right to know everything about you I want and then discriminate against you if I so choose?
Do business owners not have rights?
You can find somewhere else to work if the terms of your employment are unsatisfactory.
