The future of web technology is twisting and turning, but what does it mean for employers? In the past, it meant little to nothing, being as most people looking for jobs were smart enough to turn all privacy settings up on their Facebook to prevent any snooping. Even further in the past, most employers were not concerned with how people acted in their social networks.

Now, apparently, it’s becoming a big issue for a company to see what you’re up to in your own private time. The latest scandal coming up is that some employers are asking for the Facebook passwords of their prospective employees.

Where do we, as potential employees, get to cross the line? Should we be living lives that are totally devoid of any sort of “harsh opinion” as some would say? Would an employer not hire someone who has extremely Christian viewpoints?

The basic concern is that companies should not be infringing on people’s private lives for the sake of a job. It’s absolutely outrageous and absurd for a company to want a Facebook password. Jobs seem to no longer be about your knowledge of the field, but more if you’re doing anything in your private life that a company doesn’t like.

Hopefully the law of the land will be able to throw away such measures for sure. But until then, people have to worry about what they post online, and that’s just not right.
