Privacy is a Thing of the Past…

This article related to our conversation with Danah about employers accessing information about prospective employees through Facebook. What’s next? Will it become acceptable for employers to demand access to prospective employees’ Myspace and Facebook pages during the application process - kind of like drug testing? As unethical as that may seem, we may be heading in that direction. Who knows - maybe then people will become more aware that there really is no privacy on the Web.
