When Employers ask for your Facebook (or other social media site) passwords

You Can Say No.

Facebook’s Terms of Service is a contract that requires you to NOT divulge your info. To do so could open you to legal action by Facebook.

Your social media accounts contains information on your sexuality, religion and political affiliation which is a violation of federal law, employers are not allowed to ask these questions in interviews.

If your employer asks for your Facebook/forum passwords, I think it's time to find a different job.

The place I used to work at had a very strict policy about sharing photos on sites like that, and I definitely understand why. Just have to keep the company name off your profile and out of every conversation you have.

sharing photos of what though? Yourself in private life or from work? From work I would understand.

My friend made a comment about food in the workplace caf and got reprimanded for that, but I don't know if she mentioned where she worked.
