Edit: I just realized you were probably talking about it being explicitly illegal to discriminate based on political affiliation in some states which is true.

  Nope. In some states it is illegal for your employer or a potential employer to make decisions based on your social media history.

    Even 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?

      As 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...

        That 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.
