I read recently that employers have been asking employees for access to their Facebook page. Personally I won’t have a Facebook page because I do not put my life out there for all to see. Had a boss asked me for my Facebook page And had I had one, I would have told said boss to stick it or if I really needed the money I would have LIED and said I did not have one, right after I eliminated my name and other ID on it.

It is no one’s business what I do in my off time. Individual freedom being the heart of the US Constitution

Being a pragmatist and having to feed my family I might lie to keep a job
long enough to find another job. I feel a sense or responsibility to my employer to do a good job at the task I was hired for. After that all bets are off

“It is no one’s business what I do in my off time.”

There are scores of court cases that suggest you are incorrect. There is no blanket Constitutional protection for an employee’s activities “off the clock” to which an employer objects, especially in “employment-at-will” states.
