Should Employers have Access to Your Social Media Account?

State lawmakers discussed House bill 1455 introduced by Rep. Ben Hanson of West Fargo yesterday. This bill would ban employers from requiring access to employee's on line networking accounts. Some lawmakers think that if you use "work" time to access those accounts that employers should have access to your account.

It once again poses the question, what is considered crossing the line into ones personal area? Should employers have access or demand that an applicant make those accounts assessable before the hiring process or anytime during the employment? Should a employee get terminated for postings on his or her social media page? I think this is a slippery slope. What are your thoughts?
