Could Your Facebook Profile Throw a Wrench in Your Future?

4. I believe the person posting the information is completely responsible. People should be aware that the internet is open to anybody and because of that they have every right to do research on social networking sites. If someone is not comfortable with information they post on the internet being open to everybody, they shouldn't post it. I think employers are unethical if they hold something, they have seen on social media, against a possible employee that has to do with things like: religion beliefs and hobbies. I think this is unethical because this is someones personal preferences and should not interfere with a job. Students are being naive when they post illegal activity or careless activity on social media like: drinking and doing drugs.

Thesis: It is so easy for employers to look at someones Facebook and see everything one posts; everyone should be extra careful of the information they give out. The internet is open to anyone and everyone so putting personal information on social media is not smart because it can affect a future career.

"In order to sign up for Facebook, all employers need is an e-mail address ending in '.edu'-meaning that anyone who is a recent college graduate or who has an alumni e-mail address can sign up."

"The employer 'said he wanted to see if his profile supported what he thought of this kid'"
