"right" was a poor choice of words on my part. If your FB page is not locked down, anybody can look at it - a potential employer as well. Don't want people looking at it? Lock it down, as you said, otherwise, look all you want.

This, a thousand times. I couldn't have said it any better. /thread
I rarely use Facebook more then say every 3 days or so and post mostly quotes and occasionally non controversial YouTube videos, I never say anything about my employer nor am I friends with anyone at work, employees or clients.
All I ever see there are three things;
women posting artistic looking sayings about how great women are or how they themselves should be loved more than any other human being
pictures of children doing normal things that are commented on as something spectacular and rare
people with boring cliche sports comments (rock chalk KU etc...) with inane babbling about upsets and whatever (I hate sports so I don't get it)
I hate it and am only there to keep up on certain activities that tend to get posted there. Otherwise, I could not care less if I they shut the servers down tomorrow.

One common mistake many people make on-line, including here, is to use the same user ID at multiple locations. Using one's callsign or real name opens one up to all sorts of information leakage, which may be unwanted. Even using the same user name can leave you vulnerable.
I would imagine that it's possible to be safe using Facebook (I don't now and never will), but you have to pay attention to the trail of bread crumbs that you leave behind. But it's easier, when a FB password is demanded by a prospective employer, to say you don't have one, then let them search.

The article doesn't say whether or not he gave the interviewer the information requested, does it? I'm curious as to how that story actually ends.

a friend once said "say anything that you have to say, as if you were in a crowded elevator".
the decline of our nation, has also led more employers to make unreasonable demand's of potential hirees, as well as those who are already employed. i can see an employer regulating the use of social networking site's while an employee is on the clock. i also can understand an employer <especially a governmental entity> prohibiting employee's from displaying/wearing any type of "company" related/issued
item's, while on facebook etc. i also can see an employer ordering employees not to discuss "company" business on facebook. you would not want a police officer for example, to say "yeah, we're going to raid 123. any street tonight". i also know of at least 1 employee who was terminated for using social networking site's, while on the company dime. i do not think a perspective employer has the right to demand access to a facebook page.

No Faceplant or Birdie sites here either. I'm smarter than that.
Google only to a limited extent, no GoofyMail.

I rarely use the same ID on more than one or two boards, and then only if the subject matter is related.
Unrelated boards get unrelated IDs.

Facebook is stupid. Period. I do not have a facebook account either. I don't think anyone was calling anyone else stupid. I think his point was that Facebook is stupid. And as far as a potential employer wanting your password for ANY account is uncalled for. If I were in an interview like this one I would refuse, and if I didn't get the job I would find a good lawyer.

I would not give it up. Instead, I would report it to the appropriate governing bodies.
