You don't have a right to privacy in a public place, like on FacePuke or it's predecessor MyPuke, just like you don't have a right to privacy in any other public place.
No doubt, you have confused "
internet" with "
intranet."

Good point.
Just because a member of congress votes against a bill it doesn't mean they actually voted against the bill...it could be that they voted against other provisions in the bill not related to the main bill or to $Millions in pork or ear-marks.
Curiously...

What about it?
They would be stupid not to ask for that information.
If you're on FacePuke and you are threatening or bullying another, or you are making threats against your employer's clients, or against the clients of another employer, perhaps a competitor, your employer may be criminally or civilly liable.
I tell you what, you can keep your damn FacePuke password as long as you obtain and maintain throughout your entire employment, oh, I don't know, let's say $6 Million worth of Errors & Omissions Insurance.
If you purchase $6 Million in E&O Insurance (and $6 Million should just about cover any legal damages to your employer stemming from your actions) then it's not really a big deal, except that will cost you about
$1,200 per month (I was paying $750 per month for E&O and General Casualty/Loss up to $1 Million).
How long have you lived in the US? What, a whole 3 days or something?
I've spent 3 or more days in over 37 countries on 4 continents and 30 days or more in 19 countries.
Generally speaking...US Society (as a whole) is totally dysfunctional.
You have a woman (and I use the term loosely) out there who claims to be channeling aliens from Zeta Reticula and that an invisible planet called Nibiru is on a collsion course with Earth or something. Her name is Nancy Lieder or as usually write, Nancy LIEder.
And tens of thousands of people believe what she says.
You have Jose Arguelles, the art historian who incorrectly interpreted a Mayan calendar that the Mayans didn't even invent and claiming the world will end in 2012.
And he's got Millions of people believing him....and now he claims to be the incarnation of Votan on Earth.
And then you got your Whitley Schriebers, and then your school shootings and postal shootings and your reality shows and all of the other insanity.
It's actually easier to be a christian in Afghanistan and hang out with the Taliban than it is to be anything in the US.
Hell, probably the sanest people I ever met lived in tribal villages in the mountains of Burkino Faso.
Anyway, the potential for an employer to create either criminal or civil liability for their employer is incredibly high.

You have conflated "

private."
They are not the same thing.
What you post on FacePuke might be personal, but it is not private...it is very public.

It's about 1,200 years old.
It's referred to as the Master-Servant Relationship and it is derived from English Common Law (as are most criminal and civil laws in the US).
Under the concept of the Master-Servant Relationship, the Master.....read "Employer"......is responsible for the actions of his Servant.....read "Employee".......and now that you all have at least some idea of what the Master-Servant Relationship is all about, you can see why employers would be in a panic.
An employer is responsible for the actions of their employees, and thanks to incredibly liberal interpretations by judges (and juries), that often extends to the actions of employees when they are not "on the clock."

That's true, but some idiots just can't grasp the concept.
However, while employers might not be dictators, they are your masters.
Legally...

In typical liberal fashion, you want to be able to do anything but never be burdened with responsibility, especially for the consequences, and of course everyone else should pay for it.
If you don't like the climate you have created, then un-create it.
Logically...

That would be fraudulent.
Someone like me would easily discover your FacePuke account.
Hell, a small child can find out if someone has a FacePuke account.
Sensibly...

My e-mail account is not published on the world wide web for all see.
No one has access to my e-mail account but me.
That totally destroys your analogy. Your FacePuke account is not like a private diary or journal, and certainly nothing like an e-mail account.
What if your child was posting things about you and your spouse on FacePuke?
You know, like all of the argument you have, and everything that you and your spouse do, and what if that included photos as well?
What if your child was posting info on their FacePuke account about their sibling ...your other child...? Do you want the whole world to know that your daughter is a mallslut (while you remain oblivious)t? Do you want the whole world to see your son with 14 years doing drugs, drinking, having sex, committing hate crimes or engaging in criminal activity, like gang beatings and stuff?
Great parenting there.
I bet you'd be demanding your child's FacePuke password in a heartbeat.
Analogizing properly...
