Okay, did I skip a dimension?  

www.zdnet.com/blog/facebook/ho…

Can someone explain this to me?  Because I think I have something crazy and stupid in my ear.

Let me get this straight, our government VOTED DOWN an amendment that states employers CANNOT demand passwords to our personal online social networks.  As in, because this amendment was voted down, if I were to get a job right now and that employer states, as a condition for consideration of employment, I must give up my Youtube password, my DeviantArt password, and my Facebook and MySpace passwords and all usernames and emails associated with these accounts to that interviewer so that they can go and and well meddle in my affairs and see what religion I am, what my marital status is, who I'm dating, who my friends are, pose as me to those people and manipulate things that pretty much goes against the terms and conditions of a social network?

Did I just jump into the Twilight Zone of What the Fuckery?

Can someone tell me that this is just a flub, that maybe they just not voted on this amendment right now because someone who wrote it misspelled something or the grammar was wrong and they're just going back and rewriting it.  Because something is wrong with this country if such a bill was turned down.

Excuse me, I shouldn't have to give anyone my user name and password, potential employer or not.

Can someone please just clarify what's going on here?

ok this is the one thing that am going to rant about... youre accounts are YOURE! accounts and no-one as the RIGHT to request/ask or demand youre accounts password nomatter where you have youre account on. therfor it's more a form of ID-theaf and/or pravacy law's. no company or corprit as the right you do this at all nomatter where ther are bace'ed even you applying for a job thay have no rights to do so and if thay do my best advise to eneyone isto do youre homework on privacy law's and gain some insite bit thers a trick. if thay ask/demand for youre account's passwords ask then ask/demand for ther bissness accounts passwords and if that refuse then you can refuse to give them youre accounts passwords....

as i sayed no company or corprit bissnssis as the right to ask for youre account info nomatter what reson or grounds thay say. its youre account and youre info so its youres alone..

well that my ranting over and sorry for the typos... i'll be verey suprised if thay try and pass the bill again and get sussece out of it. go to show the goverment is run by power hungry proffit driven little rich cry babys that whats evrey thing ther way and will stop at nothing to get it ther way
