Californians, Go Tell Your Teacher's and Bosses You Won't "Friend" Them

Californian governor Not-Schwarzenegger signed two bills on Thursday that prevents companies and universities from asking individuals to release their social media login information.  The state marks the first to pass such laws.

Is it sad that we have to tell companies this?  I know in this day and age you do not want your employees bad mouthing your brand to the whole world, but it was the same back in the day when the "whole world" was just Main Street.  If a person is that much of an embarrassment, odds are they will do something that warrants firing or kicking out sooner or later.  Hell, you let them in, dumb ass.  And honestly, this is not that hard to police and most cool companies will be okay with it.  Check this out: Fuck the Banned Library.  Yep, still here.
