ACLU: Facebook password
isn't your boss' business

My name is Wesley Williams, and I am
here to summarize what the article I read is about. The article that I chose
was about Facebook, but can also include basically anything you use on the
internet as like a social network. The article states that in some places (well
in the article it says the majority of places are starting to do it) the boss
asks you for your password to your social network (in this article it happens
to be Facebook), or get other employees to add you on that network, and they
state that it is for business reasons to check if you’re a worthy employee. The
article makes it seem like an awful idea, and they make it seem like it should
be looked down upon, and should never do something like that. I’m not saying
that it’s right, or anything but I am also not saying it’s the worst thing to
do either. There is pro’s, and cons to this so it can go either way. I say it could be a good thing because that
could actually be a really good way to find out what your employee is doing,
not in a stalking way but if he/she is doing something that can effect the business
then why would you way them to be with your company, or anything like that, but
you don’t need their passwords for that you can go the way of getting other
employees to add them and people getting tested in this way can easily by pass
it by just deleting there account. On the other hand it is bad because that is
like an invasion of privacy like some people could have some really private things
on their network , and if your boss has your password then he/she would have
access to all of that which is not a good thing. But that is my opinion yours
may be different who knows.
