And I would not, still to this day, let them in my Facebook. And I don’t think it’s OK for an employer to ask you.”</i></p> <p>From a legal perspective it would appear she has a tough battle on her hands given that there is no law currently preventing employers from requesting access to a Facebook account.</p> <p>Just because such an action is possible however does not make it right.  That the action comes from an organisation designed to help teach youngsters the right way to behave as adults is very sad indeed.  Shame on them.<br/> </p> <div style="clear:both; height: 0px;"> </div> <div id="likebuttonarea" style="margin:0 -10px; padding:10px; position:relative; background-color: #f6f6f6;"> <iframe src="http://web.archive.org/web/20120404192804if_/http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=http://technorati.com/social-media/article/can-you-be-sacked-for-not/&layout=standard&show_faces=true&width=600&action=like&font&colorscheme=light&height=65" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="border:none; overflow:hidden; width:600px; height:65px;" allowtransparency="true"></iframe> </div> <div style="clear:both; height: 10px;"> </div> <div class="emphasis"> <a href="#comments">Read comments on this article, and add some feedback of your own</a> </div> </div> </div> <div class="round-rect"> <div class="inner"> <h2>About this article</h2> <div id="author-bio" class="span-10"> <div class="span-2"> <img alt="Profile image for cmimanagers" width="60" height="60" src="http://web.archive.org/web/20120404192804im_/http://scm-l3.technorati.com/profile/8/cmimanagers/cmimanagers_medium.jpg?1333188871"/> </div> <div class="span-8 last"> <h3>Article Author: <a rel="nofollow" href="/web/20120404192804/http://technorati.com/people/cmimanagers/">Adi Gaskell</a></h3> <p>A writer on management issues for publications such as Professional Manager, CMI, HRM Today, Business Works and Technorati.
