Good law, Corporate American is already to powerful. Pretty soon they'll want to put CCTV cameras in and around our homes to make sure we live the lives they say we should. What you do after work hours is none of their damn business.

Personally, it's none of their damn business what I do in my personal life, and I would never work for a corportation that is uptight as Homeland Security, no matter how much they paid me.

Irrelevant "feel good" bill; Since corportations (couldn't stop myself) can still legally log social network users keystrokes on their systems...
Plus, everything about us is openly available from any database.

I wouldn't know about the database part... but yes if you use a company network to check these accounts they can still get your account info. Along with ay data you send/recv. And that will be perfectly legal even after this bill. So all we've accomplished is now they don't ask.. nay can't ask.. for it.

If you use a corportate *rolls eyes* connection to access anything, they have the right and responsibility under law to ensure that you are not committing any offences. Failure to do this would make them in part liable as it was their connection that was used in perpetration of that offence.

I never understood why employers were willing to allow access to social networking sites anyway? You're there to work, not upload pictures of your cousin's new baby.
Hopefully, this will prompt more employers to actively block social networking sites. Hell, if I ran a business, I would already be disciplining anyone using them on my network. There are more then enough people out there that can type letters up, if you don't wanna do it, fuck off and let someone who does earn your pay.
My hatred for this practice stems from government departments (I live in UK) allowing people to use FB at work. That's MY TAXES paying people to use FB, while at the same time, public spending/services are being reduced and taxes are always creeping up. WTF? I can see a way to save a few million per year... sack the cunts who are currently getting paid MY and other worker's money to talk to their family and friends instead of answer phones.
Maybe then, we can afford books for schools, or have our bins emptied sometimes...
Corportate Identity Theft?

This bill has nothing to do with FB / Twitter usage at the workplace.

Not quite the point I was making, but nice try. What I was saying is that hopefully, as a "side effect" of this bill, employers will be indirectly compelled to prevent that kind of personal access. Since they now have no means of getting employees to show them what they post, and since they will be held in part accountable for their employees potentially libelous posts, any smart employer would just block that access.
