Facebook? I would politically, adeptly offer to 'friend' them so they can see whatever posts they'd like. Right after I added them to my LinkedIn network. And if they refused to do that, I'd refuse them, right there and then. Cold.
This is because of course I've limited any information under my name to PG-rated stuff forever, knowing that whatever gets posted to the Internet STAYS on the Internet. Forever. I have a grand total of maybe 50 friends on FB, and they are relations I try to remain neutral and civil toward... from all wings of the family.
As for anything else posted under pseudonyms... there are others who live under my roof and who use my computers. You can't prove I said it. Or didn't say it. Nuts to you.

I don't think someone thinking about hiring you is going to really care whether or not they can "prove" you said something or not. Fatty.

This.
The only reason companies are doing this is because no court has come out and said they cannot yet. The only reason companies pay a livable wage is because minimum wage laws exist - without such a law, companies would pay $0.02/hour. The only reason companies observe a 40 hour work week is because there are laws about it... and on and on and on.
The only reason companies do ANYTHING except maximize profits at the expense of workers and the environment is because they are forced to by law. If there were no laws about such things companies would all quickly race each other to the lowest common denominator with respect to responsible action and that would become the new standard, and if you tell me you don't believe it, you're either absurdly naive or lying your ass off.

I believe it is a lawsuit waiting to happen.They are asking you to do something you can't do legally and refusing to hire based on your refusal. .It seems there would be some kind of action that could be taken there.

This can't be true. I was told on the Outpost that the free market won't allow this and we don't need any silly laws or government involvement because that would just make things worse.
/sarcasm off
Companies should not be allowed to ask you anything that doesn't specifically have to do with your ability to perform the job. Period. That's my stance.

I would think that Facebook would come out against this practice since it has the potential of leading to a decline in site usage. So far they haven't said anything one way or the other.

I would probably walk out of an interview if they were insistent on getting access to my Facebook. The things I do outside of work are my business, and no one has a right to see that information if I choose not to let them see it.
I also wouldn't "friend" an employee of the company I'm applying to just so they can look over my information. I've set my privacy settings to prevent people I don't know from seeing that information; why then would I turn around and allow an entire company to see it? How can I trust a company not to abuse that information?
To me, there is a very clear, definite line between work life and personal life. In my personal life, I am allowed to do and say ANYTHING that isn't illegal. I won't forgo that right to free speech just for a job.
