Applicants for jobs with the city authorities of Bozeman, Montana are having to provide details of any websites, online groups, blogs & social networking sites that they participate in together with all their usernames and passwords so that the city can carry out 'background checks' on them!
Armed with this information the authorities would not only be able to access a person's entire online life but also the personal information of facebook friends etc.
Obviously they don't consider any privacy to be permissable at all, which kind of contradicts the Montana Constitution, Article 2, Section 10 of which, reads "the right of individual privacy is essential to the well-being of a free society and shall not be infringed without the showing of a compelling state interest."
Yet more hypocracy from the politicians?
How long before we see this happening over here?
