In reply to the discussion: Why don't employers just break into your home and search your personal belongings? [View all]Horse with no Name
(33,956 posts)42. It is a WEALTH of personal info
I had a friend whose CHURCH elders came to her house to REPRIMAND her because another parishioner was creeping her FB and saw that she had an openly gay friend making comments on her page...and that openly gay friend was visiting her home at the time and they had to question her virtue. mg:
I was stunned.
And my friend was stunned.
And she quit her church. It was very difficult for her to do this, but it was such an invasion of her privacy that she felt very violated.

Looking at it's generally considered okay these days, but asking for passwords is another matter. nt

It was such a hoot when Uncle Arthur popped in while a client was visiting, though.

It is, yes. It's way too intrusive, and I wouldn't provide any such password,

It is more like being required to provide them a key so they can search or just pop in at will.
