Earlier this year, the story began circulating that some employers were asking new job candidates to hand over their Facebook logins and passwords. The candidates weren’t required to give such information, but were likely not considered for the position if they declined. Rightfully so, there was much backlash over this obvious invasion of privacy. Since then, Maryland has become the first state to pass a bill banning employers from this shady tactic, and now, the Social Networking Online Protection Act has been introduced on a national level.
