Absolutely unacceptable.

It’s one thing to require a potential job seeker to friend them on social site so they can see their posts, but it’s another to require a job seeker to allow a potential employer to take control of their accounts. They could send messages as you, they could post things. It’s just wrong.

That’s one of the reasons why it’s important to remain anonymous on political forums. I can speak my mind here, On Facebook, there’s nothing important or controversial.

That's it. The municipal government can set up an institutional account and then ask job seekers to "friend" it or at least send a message to it (which would grant the municipality viewing access for 30 days anyway.)

No way do they need other people's passwords.
