House votes down stopping employers asking for Facebook passwords
By Emil Protalinski | March 28, 2012, 6:41pm PDT
Summary: An amendment that would have banned employers demanding access to Facebook accounts was defeated in the House by a vote of 236 to 184. It can always return as separate legislation.
House Republicans today defeated an amendment introduced yesterday that would have banned employers demanding access to Facebook accounts. While the practice isn’t widespread, it has caused a big brouhaha after reports surfaced that some organizations were requiring workers to hand over Facebook passwords as a condition of keeping their current job or getting hired for a new one. |
