Chapter 2: Could Your Facebook Profile Throw a Wrench in Your Future? by Rebecca Dince
In the article, "Could Your Facebook Profile Throw a Wrench in Your Future?" by Rebecca Dince, she addresses a collection of feedback on whether or not employers should review Facebook profiles before hiring their employees. From my perspective, since I have a Facebook account I think employers should be able to inspect your profile to some degree. Personally, I have not posted any private information about myself on Facebook, because it's public for anyone to see so I wouldn't mind for an employer to investigate through my profile. But for some people, they don't understand that the whole world can see their profile. So there are certain things I wouldn't put on my Facebook profile such as my address, cell-phone number, information about my family, etc. Unless your Facebook profile is on complete lockdown and no one but you can see it, then you should never put these things private and personal information on it, because anybody can see it even criminals and offenders. The one thing that everyone should know about the internet is that once something is available to the public, its pretty much impossible to remove it completely like photos, videos, and posts. Theres no way to know who's seen it, saved it or sharing it with someone else.

It's crazy that we both have the same ideas about how people should be responsible for censoring their own social media sites, even though the essay took the other stance. I didn't like that the essay only really talked about how morally wrong employers looking at applicants' Facebook pages were. I can see the argument for how this can be seen as a breech of privacy, but I think that employers could make a strong case for why the screening is necessary.
