Facebook and Social EMail Privacy
Facebook email privacy
An
ongoing area of debate is email privacy. The following are considerations
pertaining to policies and laws in this area. The media often comments about
companies’ asking job candidates for their Facebook passwords as part of the employment
screening process. There is no federal law prohibiting this. The Department of
Justice, however, considers it a crime to ask an employee or candidate for
access. Both are in direct violation of Facebook’s Terms of Service, which
state, “You will not solicit login information or access an account belonging
to someone else… You will not share your password…let anyone else access your
account, or do anything else that might jeopardize the security of your
account.” Many states are now looking to make this practice illegal. Asking for
personal passwords is a clear privacy violation and is unethical. Employers
must not access profile information to determine an employee’s religious,
sexual, or political views. Because email and social media go hand-in-hand,
this section is included in this book.
