This really has become ridiculous. Like when someone on FB makes legitimate complaints about their bullying / unpleasant / criminal employer, and then the employer sees it, and gets told off or fired. Or, apparently, applicants for jobs have their FBs or Twitter feeds checked, to see they're reasonably popular and sociable, or to see if they're the "right" kind of person that the company wants to employ.

Employers who do this should be, I don't know, thrown in jail. Fucking deported. At the very least, put in "education" camps and, for 5 years, alternate between breaking rocks in the midday sun and being taught how to be actual human beings.

Modern employers are even worse than the employers of yesteryear, if that's even possible.

It's a free background check.

I see no issues.

Better yet, what is published is totally up to YOU

They're entitled to check whatever's public IMO, but it's when they go beyond that, like asking for passwords. Then they can fuck off.

I used to work for an infamous US government agency known by 3 letters. We were told to never engage in social media because sometime, somewhere, someone was going to check it and/or hack it.

Or you'll post something you'll regret.

I don't work there anymore but I still have no social media presence.

I don't think you really need to worry about anything employers do, Sunhawk.

That would probably be "suspicious". Then you're not get the job you were applying for, wouldn't you?

Fuck employers. They are mostly bad people. Everyone should realise this.
