Topic Proposal: Facebook and Employers

There are many different employers that use Facebook as another way of screening people out. Many users do not think about what they post on Facebook. They put pictures of themsevles in situations that they would rather keep private and write things on peoples walls that express things that they would not want a future employer to find. This is couplesd with the problem that the users of Facebook do not all know how to use the privacy settings for the website. This means that even if they are trying to stop future employers from seeing posted items they will not be able to do so efficiantly. Overall, Employers are useing this site to their own ends and not the way that it was intended for people to use, therefore creating the privacy issue.
