Another victory for corporate America:
IL Follows Suit: Employers Right To Ask For Social Media Passwords Codified Into Law

This is beyond ridiculous: it is illegal for an employer in the US to ask about a candidate's religion (rightly so), but asking for information which could contain much more intimate details is ok?

Another big legal problem I see there, is that the employer could obtain private details about third parties who sent infos meant only for the eyes of the job candidate.
