[LINK] Access to Facebook by prospective employers

[Jan Whitaker]

This article on Huffpost is by a small businessman who says he needs 
to see the FB page of job applicants so he can know as much about 
them as possible in case they might be offensive.

The commenters have it right:  the applicants should ask for his at 
the same time and see what he thinks, oh, and those of his kids 
because he is the authority figure after all. The author already 
admits he doesn't 'go there' because his kids are so out of control.

Think about what employees (and football clubs?) might have found if 
they had looked at the Energy Watch guys' social network stuff.

Our truest response to the irrationality of the world is to paint or 
sing or write, for only in such response do we find truth.
