I'm willing to say for many things, "You don't have to work there if you don't want to" but this particular issue bothers me. Most firms can Google you, and find a lot of public Facebook info. If that's not enough, asking for your password is basically wiretapping a mobile phone for which you make no business calls. It's VERY hard to live with this. I'm struggling to come up with any justification. About all I can fathom is a world in which they have to prove 100% that you're not insider trading. But if they need your Facebook to prove this, this need to tap your personal phone # and read all your snailmail too. And every personal email account. Wow this is depressing.
