Are you seriously suggesting Facebook use it's employee's private account data as part of hiring & performance management?
- testvox 9y agoWhy would they not? Any other employer is allowed to, so why not Facebook?
- fra 9y agoFacebook has a different level of access. Seems to me like that would be all kinds of unethical.
- einr 9y agoAnd clearly, Facebook would not use personal information for unethical purposes.
- heartbreak 9y agoBecause the liability is not worth it.
- reaperducer 9y ago> Any other employer is allowed to, so why not Facebook? No. This is explicitly illegal in some states.
- testvox 9y agoEdit: I just realized you were probably talking about it being explicitly illegal to discriminate based on political affiliation in some states which is true.
- reaperducer 9y agoNope. In some states it is illegal for your employer or a potential employer to make decisions based on your social media history.
- testvox 8y agoEven if the employee sends their social media posts directly to the employer or a potential employer and stores them on their systems? I am interested to read the legislation do you know what states?
- reaperducer 8y agoAs of 2013, it was Illinois, California, New Jersey, Michigan, Maryland, and Delaware. https://www.cnet.com/news/six-states-outlaw-employer-snooping-on-facebook/ https://www.cnet.com/news/six-states-outlaw-employer-snoopin...
- testvox 8y agoThat only bans employers from asking for passwords. Facebook doesn't need to do this because they already have all your data, no passwords needed. Also I read through the text of those laws and they all specifically say that they are not limiting the employers right to monitor their own systems in any way. So Facebook looking up how their employees use Facebook would be completely fine under those laws.
- QasimK 9y agoNo, there is a difference between what should do, what they can do and what they are doing. I would interpret the OP as saying they can know, if they wanted to. But that doesn’t really have much to do with Zuckerberg denying knowledge.
