I don't have one.. if I did I definitely wouldn't provide it.

Well don't have one that is used anyway. Made one so the daughter could keep track of me a long time ago but I never use it.

Yep. It's also a federal crime for them to log into your acct but the DOJ won't prosecute it. From the article:


"The Department of Justice regards it as a federal crime to enter a social networking site in violation of the terms of service, but during recent congressional testimony, the agency said such violations would not be prosecuted."



the doj may not prosecute....but you definitely have standing to bring a civil case at that point


as far as would i give it to them....not a chance and i would pursue any legal recourse at my disposal....


i doubt this would matter too much as my facebook name is not entirely accurate and doesn't come up on searches for my actual name

Do not have a Failbook account. I suspect more people will get burned over the things they post there as time goes by.

I'd ask for the interviewer's password to Facebook, to see if he/she was trustworthy enough to give my password to.



I was going to say that I'd ask them for the passwords to their infrastructure, so that I can make sure I'm not interviewing with a company involved in any other illegal activities along with logging into applicants' FB accounts.

I do not have a Facebook account. (10 votes)

Wouldn't provide it if I did though. They don't need the password even if they did want to snoop the profile.

isn't it illegal to ask for a lot of the information that most people list on facebook? religion, sexual orientation, marital status, age etc.
