How do you feel about the possibility of your Facebook and MySpace posts being used to deny you insurance benefits?

wow thats insane and yeah you should have the right too say no

I know this is kinda off topic, but I was reading the other day that its illegal for judges in Florida to befriend lawyers on Facebook.

Another retarded law. I don’t see why Facebook should be used to determine anything, even for insurance benefits.

Employer: “George, can I call you George? Look George, we here at the company all feel that anyone who spends more time on their crops than on their lost brown cows on Farmville simply doesn’t meet the ethical requirements of the vacancy. We’re very sorry”

Greg (George): “That’s ridiculous! Why does a law firm even care about such things!?”

Employer: “Well all would have been well had you merely virtually murdered the cows and used them to improve your crop growth but…”

In seriousness though, personal matters, and domains in which personal matters are arranged, should be kept at the discretion of the individual lest key democratic principles be disregarded. Should democratic principles not be an issue however then the matter could be considered in a different manner but I do not believe the question is posed with this alternative context in mind.

I don’t like it but I accept that anything I make public can be used against me.

My motto is don’t reveal anything online that you wouldn’t reveal to trusted family member or a potential kidney donor.

Being publicly insured, the first one would never happen to me. Neither would the second one, because that would be against the law.

I think it’s not sound evidence

it is true i know people that have been fired from jobs because of ther facebook or myspace. they also can use them as to judge characters before an interview. i know people they have not got jobs because of it. it’s rather sad really. I may not like it, but there is nothing i can do about it
