<p>It is very poor practice on part of an employer. It is also illegal to even ask for it. It’s like asking a candidate for their age or marital status. Of course, age is federally protected, as are gender and race. Nevetherless, Facebook accounts are personal. What’s next? Asking candidates to share their email accounts? Any company with a half-@##ed HR department would forbid such unethical practices. Disgraceful and disgusting.</p>
