How is this even enforceable? Why not ask for our online banking user info as well? Check out what you spend your money on every month. See how financially secure you are. Or your personal email account info, which is really not that much different than your facebook account, especially considering once you are logged into the account you can view all the private messages that you have sent/received. Is this going to be required for job applications? Put in your name address social security facebook password. I mean get the hell out of here this is insane. If this happens we are doomed, and any other personal privacy from at least entities other than the government is gone. Slippery slope if I've ever heard of one. [/quote] They already run credit reports on people. If yours is low, you don't get hired. [/quote] Unless it's for public office, no business has the ethical right to do that. I would never work for someone who requested such information. My personal life is my personal life. My profession life is my professional life. Keep the two separate. [/quote] I think they can run a credit report on you without you knowing. [/quote] They are supposed to disclaim whether or not they are going to do it. [/quote]
Original Message
-A last minute alteration to CISPA was defeated in a Congress vote
-It would have protected user's social media passwords from employers
-The late amendment was put forward by Democrat Ed Perlmutter
An attempt to ban US bosses from asking employees to hand over their Facebook login details has been blocked by Congress.
A last minute alteration to the controversial Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act (CISPA) that would have prevented employers demanding that prospective employees disclose social media passwords as a condition of employment was voted down in the house of representatives.
The proposal, put forward by Democrat Ed Perlmutter was defeated by a 224-189 majority, according to the Huffington Post.
Handing over passwords could legally be a condition of acquiring or keeping a job, said WebProNews.
Perlmutter said of his amendment before it was defeated: 'It helps the individual protect his right to privacy and it doesn't allow the employer to impersonate that particular employee when other people are interacting with that person across social media platforms.
