Kansas bill seeks to curb employer social media access
Two Kansas lawmakers Rep. Gail Finney and Sen. Oletha Faust-Goudeau push measures to shield job seekers from employers requesting social media credentials. The bills would bar access to user names and passwords for sites such as Facebook or Twitter and extend to colleges and universities for applicants. Critics call it overkill while noting privacy rights and limited evidence of widespread practice.
