I wouldn’t work for that city. Talk about violations of privacy. I wonder if they want to know what radio/television programs their employees listen to as well.
Why would anyone say that they have a Facebook?
I have a Facebook account and a MySpace. MySpace is for family only (and Steven Crowder lol!) No one sees it.
There is zero link between my Internet activities and my RL name.
I think anyone with a Facebook account with RL info (much less those who use a RL FR name) are nuts.
However, there are reasons I don’t access FR from work, though I can do other conservative sites such as National Review (at lunch). I suspect it would cause me to get a close look from the Federal security folks.
Massive violation of privacy. It would be fun to apply and list a stunning amount of porn and just plain ole’ whacko websites with some really red flag names. Just plain fun. :-D. Could be the basis for a funny skit as well.
I suppose that “1%er” tat on the shoulder or “Juicy” tramp stamp is reason for disqualification, too?

Especially these days wirth the fascists we handed the office to.
LOL - you'd probably be offered a high-ranking position with very good pay.
Well within the town’s bailiwick.
If you don’t want to hand over the info, don’t apply.
Really no big deal; not much different than testing for alcohol, tobacco and various drugs.
And if you don’t have anything to hide, well, what’s the beef?
And yet our nation's president was not vetted. No birth certificate. No medical records. Did he ever release his taxes? No college papers. No passport travel records (what nationality did he travel into Pakistan under?).
Kind of seems like a no-brainer to me. I mean, I would NEVER list any of that on an application. How are they gonna find out? Unless you are stupid enough to be using the sites while at work on a work computer.
How many applicants' privacy concerns did he have to violate to come up with ONE instance to justify the whole program?
"I found ONE but I can't tell you about it..."
A**---e.
What keeps people from providing that info, and then changing their password?
Well you’re name is on the application, so they can search he site for people with that name, and usually the location and a picture show up in the hit list. So it’s pretty easy to tell if you have an account. I’d let them no I have the account but no way I’d give them my password, just on general principles.
Easy answer- N/A
I’m waiting for the first nutso guy to say he has an id on goat**.*x (actual letters removed so no one looks the site up)
don’t even try to look it up...wiki it instead

You shouldn’t do that.
That is a real nasty.
In this case, ignorance is better.
No sh!#
Its like saying, Let me look through your e-mails Crichton said.
It's also like saying "Let me have all your passwords, so some sketchy person in my organization can use them post things things that will look like you posted them." The liability that Bozeman is assuming with this scheme is mind-bogglingly huge, and any court in the country would throw out the accompanying waiver like a used Kleenex.
Also, I suspect that at least some of these sites require people who register to "Accept" a terms of service agreement which includes agreeing to not knowingly give your password to anyone else. That would put Bozeman in the position of inducing people to breach their contracts with the website operators.
