Looks like people will have to start unliking and deleting anything, even if your setting is private like on FB, anything that your boss will not like! Yep, welcome to the strict living of the workhouse, 21st. century style!

1. Worst news for Facebook in a long time.

My account is going bye bye.

3. Don't be rash.

[font color="navy" face="Verdana"]It's got a lonnnnnng way to go before it could be law. I'm betting it never gets there.

4. Okay, I'll wait. But I hope you're right. nt

5. I hope so, too.

[font color="navy" face="Verdana"]The reTHUGs spend a majority of their time pursuing legislation that they know is futile and that never goes anywhere. Time will tell.

2. Or just dump Facebook.

I have never had an account anyway.

6. here is the thing though,

Why just face book, how long before they want you personal e-mail password or a list of message boards you post on. There are so many places I disrespect my previous employer, facebook is where my dog plays games - revealing company almost secrets, well of what goes on behind closed management doors.

7. The FB thing sets precedent

With precedent they can push for more. They want to make sure that no bad press is coming from, their employees.

And those companies without Unions, they want to stay that way. They need to see what the workers are saying away from them to keep any unionizing curbed.

8. exactly. Should we give them taps on our phones and

have to walk around with film crews 24/7 so they can know what we say all the time.

I remember applying for a job at UPS - they asked if I were married and they asked for my social security number. I told them if they offered me a job i would answer those questions, but as only an applicant I decline to answer. I believe it was illegal for them to ask. Anyway I was told they would not be interviewing me anymore because I had a bad attitude and would not fit in - i.e. not subservient enough for them. I decided, the company was not worth my time either.
