Maryland -- May become the first state that actually bans employers from demanding -- to -- his hand over their login information for social media sites.
Like FaceBook.
Thank goodness.
I don't have any right surely to see what is on my FaceBook page my FaceBook pages very innocent and very boring.
But I don't wanna share that love -- is that president and founder of being Latino social media expert I -- you've been up pulling your.
The viewers listeners website dwellers -- we call -- these face on this almost direction I would in my.
-- most people horrified.
Yeah I didn't see anyone that felt there's over a hundred comments right now and not one person it's -- that it's justifiable valuation performed for.
An employer potential employers actually ask you for your -- Audience from the I mean all our question that we said should it was prevented from asking apple is the social media consulates that was -- -- -- waited.
-- full percent of you more than 84% say.
Yes a future boss should not have access to -- so personal social media can only twelve and a half percent of you think that they should.
Not I don't want that twelve and opposite of -- thinking and why he would do any employer won't.
To do it just for background information to see that there's nothing embarrassing and arrogance yeah I think that with the digital age like a lot of employers are necessarily sure.
How to accurately create you know reference checks on people in the trying to figure out new and creative ways that are giving a little more detailed information.
About people black.
This situation right here is not the correct way to capacity privacy -- you have to have a pot of your life that is not known to your employer's -- you not doing anything criminal.
Absolutely I think that that is the equivalent real life of to some -- thing.
Hey.
We can get this job but first I want to go out and hang out with you at a bar for the next four weeks the -- interactive friends like that would never happen so -- I thought was stopped at nothing I -- historic -- -- -- Iowa and of course it's in an -- this so much information out there ready to Google me and what about real job interview or just you know so it's totally have blinded to get past with the -- of the emails and and and all that so again as is that the so much out there ready -- so troubling certainly getting a FaceBook password ridiculous what.
Plus more beating the way the best way for somebody to respond in an interview with their -- -- that militant.
Really difficult position you urinate and if if you're sitting in front of -- it perspective employer a job you really want and they say.
By the way you will read your FaceBook -- for what -- what on earth do you do.
Well I think hopefully soon like that's not going to be an issue because I think that every other state will -- -- -- it's absolutely ridiculous.
But you know up until that point it's you it's irrelevant I think that you.
Have a right to your personal privacy and I think that you couldn't explain that Darren and you know unless there's -- certain player that.
Say for instance if you're working at a social media company here where it's absolutely relevant.
You have a just a right to say that's part of my personal life and I'm not sure how that applies for us.
And it didn't win it but within that within the and that whole system when -- -- if you're on your Blackberry -- whatever it's a company Blackberry if I send anything only via.
The company has an absolute right to see what others -- and that's what you have to be aware of as well -- my Twitter can only invite tweaked something stupid.
Then they have a right to see that -- and act on it.
Absolutely -- they say you're represented even though it's a personal Twitter account.
Or whatever it may be you know you are represented represented of your company -- have to be cognizant has always fun I think still that doesn't allow an -- to justify asking for log information.
Plus won't won't let you hear a word that we we were talking earlier a lot of back to.
Vice president -- of -- eight.
-- -- -- Candidate Romney's.
Possible vice presidential pick.
And whether he might try to.
Focus on a Latino vote perhaps -- the governor of New Mexico perhaps taking Marco Rubio.
Does he need to do is there an NC museum is the enthusiasm gap among Latinos full Mitt Romney do you believe.
Well I think that you know it's that the look at a community as a whole is very diverse so you -- Puerto Rican and New York would have differ.
