Social Networking Bill of Rights – the risk of sharing

With more and more of us have some form of online presence, it’s a part of us that increasingly employers, HR departments & potential recruiters want to see. This is a worrying trend towards employers wanting to see “what is behind the locked door”.

This graphic neatly highlights the key information, its risks and the basic ethics.

How would those asking feel about being asked to share their information… or maybe its those that are not online that are interested to see what others are up to – a new for of voyeurism?

I for one thing it is WRONG to let people see your private data – for you would not let a potential employer in your bedroom …. would you?

What do you think?

Have you or someone you know been impacted by this?
