Thanks for Applying - What is your Facebook?

VirtualWorld.ca

Latest item of interest I saw on the net involving the Virtual World - Employers asking for applicants Facebook page info, and even passwords.

Over at GeekTown.ca there is a post stating that a police department was asking applicants for their Facebook login info.  They want to know everything about who they are hiring.  Other places are also starting to ask for at least your Facebook page, so they can check it out.  Most of the comments to the post are against this, saying it is a privacy issue.  Will people start creating a fake Facebook page for circumstances such as this?  Would you give this information to a company you wanted to work at?

Always remember, never put anything on FB or anywhere else online if you want it to be private.

The Virtual World continues to evolve!
