Reply #34: The question(s) that I keep having whenever I hear about stories like this are

How and why are employers accessing people's private Facebook accounts in the first place, I mean, unless people are getting online during work hours on their work equipment? Are people making their employers their "friends" and adding them to their accounts or simply not securing their accounts? What's really going on?

Things like Facebook, Twitter, et. al, while used on a public platform (internet), are not things that employers are not just going to have thrown in their faces and they actually have to go hunting for it, presumably? I mean, it's not like things like porn ever just "accidentally" shows up on people's computer screens, right? ;-)
