Is an employer asking the applicant for user names & passwords of fb & twitter an invasion of privacy? - flipflopchick - 11-09-2012 11:39 PM

Can an employer legally ask the applicant to provide the user names and passwords to all of there social networking sites such as facebook and twitter? Or is this a invasion of privacy?

Employers can ask for anything they want. You can say, "I don't use those for work purposes," and refuse to give the info.

Asking you is not an invasion of privacy. If they put a keyboard grabber on your home computer and get your user name and password, that would be an invasion of privacy.
