		<description>Or another option can just be to remove the account all together. Is it just me, or does anyone else smell a crime here. Say your employer wants to view your account information to, you know, check up on you. They&#039;re hiring for a new position and want to make sure your &quot;Social Enough&quot;. So either 

A) They demand you release your account information to them, your password and login. 

B) In a sinister and immoral fashion, go through the blocks, and view private information anyways even though you trusted facebook when they said private information will remain private if you wish.

As far as I see, there seems to be nothing against either one of these methods, because the actions can be justified as &quot;Necessary&quot;. Please tell me, why after hundreds of years of master and apprentice relationships, does the need suddenly arise to spy into someones personal life and the many other very unserious things that go along with it. This is not right, infact, it&#039;s discrimination. It&#039;s no different than refusing to hire someone, or firing them, because of race, or religion. &quot;Well we want social people.&quot; That may be, but I&#039;m sorry, viewing this content doesn&#039;t help that cause. Automatically, whatever comes up on that page is going to become the sole basis on what an individual is judged on. Many of that information isn&#039;t entirely serious, as such thing as comedy exists where friends joke with eachother and have a good time. So you&#039;re being judged and discriminated against, based off of lets say how many friends you have, what life you live, how social you appear to be. Shouldn&#039;t these all be determined on how you dedicate yourself to your career? Everyone should have the same opportunity, no matter what your personal life shows. What you do at your job, and infront of your employer should be the only basis on how your character is judged. Sure, maybe there are truths on there that perhaps other people &quot;should&quot; know. However, unfortunately, I ticked the privacy option, my information should remain private unless requested via warrant from &quot;A government offical&quot;. Now, if employers can attain legal warrants to view this content, I dont know what country we live in, but it certainly isn&#039;t America.</description>
