Uh... I don't think you understand the problem. A company going though your private social media is a big no-no. It's as if they'd call your friends and family and ask them "Has OP ever said or done anything offensive?". It's none of their concern and the fact that they even try this shit is a massive red flag. If they don't respect your privacy before they hire you, they won't magically start respecting it afterwards. Even setting that aside, a company policing what employees say in private, regardless of whether or not they find out about it actively or passively, is absurd. An employer does not get to decide what you say, do or think in your free time. ----- EDIT: As a small extra, here in Germany something like this would be very much illegal, as you're not allowed to discriminate against job applicants based on their political opinion.

Same here but laws are a subject of interpretation. I'm sure there is a loophole somewhere in there and it can be used against you.

> A company going though your private social media is a big no-no I fully agree. I would not work there. > It's as if they'd call your friends and family Not at all: they would be alarmed by the call. Yet, comparing this to "reign of terror" or "having a finger cut off" it's a huge and dishonest exaggeration. People living under oppressive regimes have much bigger issues than not being hired by this company.
