FL Senate Bill 198

This is another bill that makes sense to me. Come on now, Jeff...you're making too much sense lately. Employers thoroughly check out the backgrounds of all prospective employees now and especially Facebook. There are all sorts of weirdos on Facebook. This bill would prohibit employers from requiring employees or job applicants for their passwords to access private social-media accounts.
