Can employers demand access to your Facebook account?
Most people consider their Facebook profile and its contents private and sacrosanct, but sometimes companies don't agree with this assessment.
The latest instance of this discrepancy between opinions hit the news when a copy of a letter sent by the American Civil Liberties Union to Maryland’s Public Safety and Correctional Services Secretary Gary Maynard was made public.
The letter was sent by the Union on behalf of one Robert Collins, a Corrections Officer that was asked to hand over the login credentials of his social media accounts when he was undergoing recertification, and concerns this instance in particular and this specific Division of Correction's blanket requirement in general.
