World’s favorite social website has stood-up for its users’ right and warns those employers who ask their prospective employees’ to turnover their Facebook account’s passcode detail for a legal action.
This warning was issued in response to reports of employers who insist on gaining complete access to their prospective employees’ Facebook accounts.
Facebook management warned employers who are especially operating in Europe that accessing a job seeker’s account under such conditions violates the network’s policies, infringes on the privacy of the user’s friends, and could expose the employer to legal risks.
Network also requested its users to shun any pressure at the time of seeking job from any employer if asked for account details and password.
Reports that some organizations and schools have been asking job seekers and students for their Facebook’s passwords in order to closely monitor their social networking activities have made headlines recently across the world specially Europe.
Some schools are either requiring student athletes to give coaches or compliance officers a degree of access to their Facebook pages by “friending” them or turning to software from social media monitoring companies such as Varsity Monitor to monitor them.
