In Facebook stood up for the applicants

Perhaps, everyone, who at least a couple of times over the past few years trying to get a job, I heard from the HR-Manager of the issue of availability of accounts in Facebook, "Live journal" and other social services. For someone this question may seem not very pleasant, but he is, in fact, is in the framework of the law and, relatively, in the framework of morality. Why not tell about the demand of some employers to pass the selection applicants provide passwords from their accounts.

This is done it is clear for what purpose, but may not please applicants, even successful. As a result, in the world (both real and virtual) have periodically scandals associated with the employers'requirements on the transmission of passwords, and the administration of that or of the other social service receives a huge number of letters from their perturbed users. For Facebook, as for the largest sotsseti, these problems are most relevant, and its leadership was forced to accept the decision - 23 March in the Facebook blog, there was a message, in which he categorically condemns any requirements on the granting of the password. That's what, in particular, is spoken in the message:

"If you're a Facebook user, you may in no case should not send the password from your account to other people, to grant someone access to your account or take any action, which may jeopardize the security of your account or lead to interference in the privacy of your friends [Facebook]... We do not think that employers shall have the right to require potential employees to provide passwords from their accounts, as we believe this requirement is unacceptable. But this requirement may cause damage and the employer... for Example, cause the charge of discrimination, if the employer (who had received the access to the information of the applicant - Chip online Russia) won't take then on the work of this man."

In addition, the administration sotsseti noted that because of the extremely serious attitude to the personal information of users, to ensure its confidentiality is ready to resort to various means - until the involvement of the law enforcement services.

The opinion leaders of the Facebook regarding the inadmissibility of the transfer of access to the accounts of the social services is shared by some of the policy. For example, in some States of the USA are planning to introduce laws that prohibit employers to request from the slave password to an account on Facebook and other similar networks. In turn senators from the Democratic party of the USA Richard Блументаль and Charles Schumer (Richard Blumenthal, Charles Schumer) initiate the verification of the legality of the cases, when American employers tried to obtain passwords to Facebook from its competitors. The result of this check may be the adoption of the United States has a Federal law on the inadmissibility of such actions.
