An employer is hiring a new employee and wants to ensure that the new hire does not have embarrassing, illegal, or inappropriate postings on Facebook. To qualify for the position, applicants are required to share their Facebook login and password with employer. Is this legal in Oklahoma? Elaborate in your response - please do not give me a yes or not answer. Do all states prohibit this conduct? What is your opinion on Oklahoma law?

The new Oklahoma law prevents or prohibits the employers of the company from demanding the Facebook credentials of new hires or new employees.The new Oklahoma law also points out that the employers cannot ask the employees to open or login their facebook accounts infront of the employers which allows the employers to assess the Facebook content of the new hires.As in other states with the similar laws cannot deny a new hire only because he or she refused to provide the facebook credentials.This is not the case of every states.There are states which demands the facebook credentials of the employees before hiring them.The new law does not prohibit the employers from demanding the necessary personal information about the employees. Eventhough the employers cannot ask the password of employees social media accounts the employers can still monitor their employees and their activities and their communications when employees open their accounts through employer provided systems.
I do support the Oklahoma law which prohibits the employers from demanding the social account credentials of the employees.The employers should not be allowed to intrude in to the privacy of the employees.If an employers fails to hire a new employee to the job only because he refused to give his social media credentials should have to face legal implications.
