U.S. employees set to be forced to give bosses their Facebook PASSWORDS

[g5000]

So here are the facts:

1. Employers have been demanding applicants and employees turn over their online social media passwords.

2. Unless such a practice is banned by law or court ruling, it is entirely legal for employers to demand passwords.

3. No one here has been able to cite a law or court ruling banning the practice.

4. If you do not comply with an employer's legal practices, you can be fired or not hired in the first place.

5. The absence of PERMISSION to ask for passwords in a law is not evidence something is ILLEGAL. That is not how our legal system works.

6. An amendment was proposed to BAN the asking of passwords, and that amendment failed. Thus, it is still legal for employers to do so, except in six states where it is specifically banned.

CISPA: Amendment to US cyber attack law banning employers from asking for Facebook passwords is blocked | Mail Online

Once again our liberties are being infringed upon

{ last minute alteration to the controversial Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act (CISPA) that would have prevented employers demanding that prospective employees disclose social media passwords as a condition of employment was voted down in the house of representatives.}

Has the EVER, I mean even once, happened?

Employers don't give a fuck about your facebook password. We block it at the firewall and that's the end of it.

 

[Colin]

I've never been a member of Facebook, but I did recently join 'Sit on my Face Book' and getting blood from a stone would be easier than prising my password from my lips!

 

[Uncensored2008]

Don't ya just love "Citizen's United"?

Yes.

But this has not a thing to do with it - or with reality.

This was stupid fucking shit tossed in by fuckwad democrats attacking a problem that doesn't exist and is so absurd that no one rational should ever give it a moments thought.

No employer in history has asked employees for the Faceboook password. No employer will, because no one gives a fuck.

Jeezuz fucking christ you leftists are stupid.

Who th hell does Facebook? FB is the bane of the modern ninny's existence.

Yep, I don't do FB or MySpace or any of that crap either.

 

[Uncensored2008]

what does that have to do with this?

Shallow doesn't know.

He doesn't have a fucking clue what Citizens United was about in the first place. The hate sites told him to hate, so he hates.

 

[Uncensored2008]

Our Rep Duncan Hunter (R) and Daryl Issa (R), next district, voted FOR it.

HOLY SHIT - you better get worked up.

you fucking moron.

 

[Uncensored2008]

Unless there is a law prohibiting the practice, it is legal. Got it?

So why didn't you put a provision in that they can't demand the combination to your gym locker in the bill?

Huh? If there isn't a law against it, your boss is going to steal your wallet while you do paladies. (Cause fuck know you ain't pumping iron, creampuff.)

Read that again. Unless there is a law prohibiting the practice, it is legal.

Well gawdamn sparky, HR will be coming to get the code to open your gun safe at any moment. There is no law prohibiting it - so it must be happening.


Fucking leftist - stupidest creatures on the planet.

 

[Dugdale_Jukes]

Uh...before y'all tie yourselves up into knots of outrage, you should know that there is nothing in the CISPA bill as it was passed by the House which would allow, or require, business owners to demand someone's Facebook account data.

Here's the Bill. Read it for yourself:

Bill Text - 113th Congress (2013-2014) - THOMAS (Library of Congress)

The whole point of this topic is that an amendment which would have made it illegal to do so was voted down. Which means, barring any other law which outlaws the practice, means it is entirely legal for your boss to do so.

Exactly.

A look at the vote list tells sentient people exactly which side of Citizens United House members are on: the flesh and blood citizens' side - or the bloodless entities' side.

Uncensored is trolling away.

If a corporation is a person, then it is only time until unions and governments become persons legally, then we are all in the fire.

 

[Toddsterpatriot]

I thought we've been through this already?

Don't ya just love "Citizen's United"?

Exactly! Unions should have no competition when it comes to political donations.
We know they lose when they have to compete.

Pro-CISPA Companies Out-Lobby Anti-CISPA Groups

Supporters of the controversial cyber-security legislation CISPA have already spent $605 million to lobby for the bill's passage, according to a watchdog group.

That's the amount supporters of the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act (CISPA) spent from 2011 to the fall of 2012, according to non-partisan research group MapLight. While the bill languished last summer, CISPA was re-introduced in nearly the same form this February and resoundingly passed the House of Representatives in a 288-127 vote last week.

According to MapLight's figures, AT&T has already spent $34 million, Comcast nearly $32 million, and Verizon over $27 million as part of its lobbying efforts. These three companies are on the record supporting CISPA. Interest groups supporting CISPA have donated nearly $68 million to members of the House, compared to $4 million by CISPA opponents. Among the key tech companies actively opposing the bill, Mozilla has contributed $2,000, according to MapLight.

money in politics is a good thing?

How much does the government spend every year?
That's why there is money in politics.
Limit the government to its enumerated powers, the money in politics would drop like a rock.

 

[LoneLaugher]

Nothing is more fun than when nutters have not gotten word regarding which side of an issue they should be on.

What! They voted against it!? Outrag.........er....uh.....they voted FOR it! UNACCEPTABLE! Look LIBS.....we hold OUR guys accountable!

fucking classic.

what you post on facebook you shouldn't expect any rights of privacy, but your personal information yes you should expect that too remain private.

If a corporation is not a person, then it can't be sued nor can it sue.

If a corporation which is just an aggregation of individual people with a very common interest is not entitled to free speech, then associations can be denied free speech.

What the fuck is wrong in the tiny pinheads of these mindless liberals?

A union can already speak on behalf of its collective membership. Do liberals like FAKEY want to deny free speech to Unions now?
