Facebook has a message for job seekers: Tell prospective employers that you can’t hand over your password because it’s a violation of the social networking giant’s terms of service.
The company said in a blog post Friday that businesses that solicit access to the Facebook passwords of potential employees are violating Facebook’s terms of service and are inviting a host of other problems.
The post comes amid reports of job applicants being asked by prospective employers to hand over their Facebook passwords so that the employer could fully check their Facebook profiles.
Earlier this week, Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) said he is writing a bill to outlaw the practice of employers requesting access to private Facebook accounts as a term of prospective employment. He said that amounts to an “unreasonable invasion of privacy” for those looking for work. Several states are also considering legislation.
Facebook: Firms violate terms by asking for passwords
Remember this when some libertarian scumbag falsely claims that corporations aren’t a threat to individual liberties and that the state is not needed to protect society from corporate depredations. — Ryking

Sometimes, simple civility entails shutting your damn mouth.
Quotation of the Day from somebody I have never met and don’t know. He left this comment in a discussion on Facebook, and I agree with him one hundred percent.
Civility is a Christian value. It’s part of loving everybody.
Frustration
So I have this wonderful new Android tablet that I love. It’s easily the fasest computer I’ve ever used, and its video processing is incredible. Being on a road trip, I thought, would be a great way to really put it through its paces, and I was right.
As I read my email, I came across posts in two facebook groups that I wanted to reply to. Facebook doesn’t behave well in the default Android browser, so as I’d expected, I got “Connection failed” errors that then sat for over 5 minutes with an hourglass when I clicked Retry. So I tried the facebook app. There I tried scrolling through everybody’s updates until I find these two threads, which was way too time-consuming, so I got smart and typed the group names into the search box. Only, the results included people or pages, but not groups.
Well, I thought, I’ll just leave those for later and reply to these posts in LinkedIn groups. I’m sure you can predict this result. Suffice it to say that the LinkedIn app is VERY limited in functionality, and doesn’t provide any way to even see my groups, much less to interact with them.
The tablet is wonderful, but not being able to count on these apps when I’m on the road is a real pain. Do these providers not know that their users rely on them? Or that Android isn’t just for phones?
