City requires Facebook passwords from job applicants

They say it won't be used against anyone for a hiring decision. Riiiiiiiight.

The anti-freedom people have learned very well how to be incremental. And, as I posted elsewhere, these folks also think in terms of years and decades. Their goal is the same one that tyrants have used throughout history - complete control.

Remember seat belts? Not even available, then optional, then included with the car, then the laws started. "Wear them, they may save your life" - and then "Wear them, they will save your life". And then - well, golly, we just know they will save your life so you have to wear them, but don't worry, we won't actually go looking for you not wearing your belts.

And now? "Click it or ticket!" and a national program that just ended June 1 to hunt for people without belts and use any excuse to stop them and ticket them.

So they say it won't be used against anyone for a hiring decision. That's today. In the future, guaranteed they will reject you for not answering.

We are already being controlled.

Read it again, boys and girls........it would also include membership in anything up to and including this forum.  Could being pro 2-A be grounds for being denied a job, or am I just paranoid?

HEHE if they get mine  they will think I am a Nutter  and get Home Land Security to arrest me on the grounds of being a terrorist


all forum memberships are 2 IT ones and the few are Firearms  

facebook  hehe  more firearms / family / and thoughts on going shooting  


that is worse being an Aussie Gun loving bloke  hehe  



that is BS  completely  
not a chance in hell I would give them my login's  even though I got nothing to hide  there is NO need for them to see
talk about an invasion  privacy,  and this is before they have the job from what I read.  

call me paranoid  what are they going to do with the info, what's to stop them posting anything using your details.

I can tell you that security clearances may not ask for Facebook or MySpace pages but they will look for you online and look.  It may not preclude you but it might make it harder to get cleared.  A lot of employers are looking now.  Pretty simple really, don't put  anything on the web you wouldn't want you Mom to know about (along with the rest of the planet).

That's fine, But I would no more give out my log in info to this site than I would give out my ATM pin number and if any one doesn't like it they can get stuffed.  I also carry when going to job interviews, you have to PAY me to give a crap about your "policies".

An employer can't even ask for your SSN without a privacy act statement by law.  Remember those?

This is a direct invasion of privacy but so is requiring that you pee in a bottle before your hired.  What I do on my own time is nobody's business and if an employer I apply to doesn't like that, they can kiss my ass!  They are not worth wasting my time with.  If I choose to drink, smoke dope or snort oregano at home, tough shite!

I've googled myself and as far as I can tell, I only show up on my Navy Alumni site for secret squirrel types.  Big deal....I don't belong to myspace, facebook or titty or twitty or twatter or whatever site Ashton Kutcher aka Mr. Demi Moore belongs too...

P.S.  TAB, the last three POTUS have admitted to smoking dope, grow up!  It's not that big a deal!  Alcohol kills tens of thousands of people in this country every year.  How many die from smoking pot? 

Answer.....ZERO!

Pretty sure if the right person gets passed over for a job and somehow hears it through the grapevine that it is because of facebook etc..  lawsuits to follow quickly.

thats not true, many people get in car wrecks while on pot.  driving stoned is the same as driving drunk.

I don't want a employee that gets high, period.    I'm not going to hold it against them if they "tried it" in HS/college.  smoking it as an adult is another story.   Would you trust your safety to some one that gets high?   How about give them access to your savings account?

Wow! What's next? Turn over your diaries and journals, then install the provided microphone, so we may hear all private conversations?

I don't diferentiate between the two, drunk or stoned your under the influence!  As long as a person is sober or straight while on the job, I have no problem with what they do on their own time.  Would I trust my safety to a drunk or a stoner?  Nope!  Drunk or stoned, you put my life in danger and I'll take you down, call the cops and make your life miserable!  

As to the question about my savings account?  Don't be rediculous, you have no idea how many people at the bank have access to your accounts, nearly everyone but the janitor can access your account.  I know this because my daughter is a bank manager!

TAB, it's obvious your one of the younger posters, at least that's my impression.  People that you could never imagine have smoked dope or still smoke and your naive to think otherwise.  I have several friends that own and operate multi million dollar, high risk manufacturing companies who smoke dope every day but never, ever on the job!

you missed my point, you make a mistake on the job site, it comes out of my pocket.  Theft is another prob in my indstury, if your addicted to something chances are good you will steal to feed that addiction.  Theft cost me almost 20k last year.

but you are right, what yuou do on your time is non of my biz... would you let a methaddict in your home?  he is sober on the clock... so you will let him in right?
