Try Photobucket.

I have a 'Pro account' which gives me extra goodies. But the Free Account suits most people.
Well anybody with a lick of common sense (who still wanted to work for a company that would ask something like that) would create a “dummy” facebook profile, with some innocuous pictures of kitty cats and inspirational quotes. Put some nice, clean cut “business friendly” types on the friends list (with a couple token minorities to display your politically correct cred) and some dull posts about the weather.
I guess their titillation with me would be downright boring as I don’t do social media and question the intelligence of those who foolishly do.
Why would you voluntarily climb in bed with someone when they could, on a whim or moment’s notice or “accident,” turn and bite you big time?
I value my privacy and work to improve it.
I don’t have a facebook account. I also don’t have an account at Freerepublic. :)
He's right.
I can easily see why the Department of Corrections would want to see what employees or job applicants are putting on Facebook. That's legitimate.
Same for any federal job requiring a security clearance, or most state and local police work.
I don't have a problem with a university or any other employer requiring EMPLOYEES to disclose their off-duty activities. It seems like a bad idea to me, and for tenured professors, it would be a violation of academic freedom to discharge someone based on most things they might put on Facebook, but if you want to work for someone you need to follow their rules unless they're clearly unconstitutional.
This isn't. Employers have the right to make stupid rules, and I have the right to choose not to work for them.
But students? What possible legitimate purpose could there be for forcing students to disclose Facebook passwords at a public university? There are longstanding precedents in case law which may apply here to student free speech rights.
Private schools are a whole different ballgame. I know of private Christian schools which monitor Facebook and will discipline students for grossly offensive things posted there. I will defend their right to do so — and theoretically, I suppose Harvard or Yale could use their private status to do the same.
Bottom line: If you don't want the whole wide world to know what you say, don't post it on the world wide web.
Just on the surface this sounds like something that could keep half the country’s lawyer population gainfully employed for the next ten years.
Obama’s Justice Dept. is actually bringing the hammer down on employers who snoop Facebook. Unions are finding it just too useful for behind-your-back organizing campaigns, dontcha know.
Atlas Shrugged tells us that that’s not the solution. We can’t simply get clever in order to play along with a corrupt and abusive system, for its ability to become ever more corrupt and abusive is virtually infinite. We have to fight it head on.
In Communist Russia, they tortured people to get the names of their compatriots. That won’t be required now.
