You're on the public domain, not the nonexistent private domain.

What you're doing is as futile as trying to take a dump in a busy town centre and expecting no one to look.

So not true. Facebook is as private as you want it to be. For instance, my personal account only has actual friends as "friends". Only friends can see my posts (not even friends of friends), and only friends can find / view my profile. A search for my name on Facebook will not return my personal account, but rather my "public" business profile.

Asking for your Facebook password is tantamount to asking for you to strap a webcam to your head when you hang out with friends, record everything you say and do with them, and then hand it over to the interviewer to watch. It is a complete invasion of privacy. If a company wants to look at my Facebook account, they can look at my public feed (though as I've already pointed out, I don't have one on my main account). I will never "friend" my boss on my non-business account unless we actually are friends. There is only one person I work with who is a friend on my main Facebook account, and that is because we go drinking every other weekend or so, and I have made a load more friends through his friends.

What you say publicly should matter in a job interview; what you say privately should not. We are all entitled to our own private opinions, shared between close friends, etc. A business has no right to invade your privacy in this manner.

I don't get an error going on your profile.

Do you have me as a friend?

Nope. Although, I did try to search for you earlier, but I just got a page about a writer and adventurer.

Yeah, right.

People are rather mislead about how insecure facebook is. Everyone thinks that you can't make shit very private. People should actually look for themselves at what they can do to secure their profiles.

Is anybody that surprised that Republicans voted to let the 'job creators' invade your privacy?

Evidently someone who hasn't explored their privacy settings.

Right, so I've looked into it, and if you are logged out of Facebook you get an error. That's what was confusing me.

If you are logged in, you can view my basic profile, but you still can't *find* it via search, etc.

Ah ok. I was just about to post a screenshot...

I can, however, see that you have answered 32 questions between 26th March 2011 and 19th Oct 2011. MUHAHAHAHAHA! Your internet safety has been compromised.

I do like that you apparently play poker regularly. I am a bit of a poker junkie myself.
