Your Facebook writings could come back to haunt you. Social Intelligence Corp monitors a variety of online destinations for employers.

 

While seven year’s worth of information will be archived, employers won’t be able to access archived information. The company explained why: “Data is archived purely for compliance reasons and not used for any other purposes. This is to provide a verifiable chain-of-custody in case the information is ever needed for legal reasons. Archived data is never used for new screens. As per our policies and obligations under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, the only information we collect on job applicants is employer defined criteria that is legally allowable in the hiring process. Examples of this include racist remarks, sexually explicit photos or videos, or illegal activity such as drug use.”

What do you think–how many different kinds of online writing should prospective employers be able to read? This is a good time to check out the Facebook

Privacy Guide.

 UPDATE: Forbes has corrected their original story about Social Intelligence. Here is an important clarification about the process: “Social Intelligence had sent me some of the reports they’ve provided to employers so far, including a job applicant who had a photo on a social networking site that featured multiple guns and a sword, and another who was designated racist for joining the Facebook group, ‘I shouldn’t have to press 1 for English. We are in the United States. Learn the language.’ … Social Intelligence’s ‘negative’ findings will stay in the files of Workplace-Shooting-Waiting-To-Happen and No-Hablo-Espanol for seven years per the requirements of FCRA, though new employers who run searches through Social Intelligence won’t have access to the materials if they are completely removed from the Internet.”

Editor’s Note: This post has been corrected to add clarification from the company.

@epinoia No, the Dutch have hardly buttons that can be pushed. Simple sobriety with as little attachments as possible. Grin.

Maybe I could have worded it differently.  In the USA, we have people from all cultures and such.  As such, we have people who can speak Dutch, Spanish, Japanese, Greek, etc., etc., etc. 

 

This guy who 'liked' something on Facebook named ‘I shouldn’t have to press 1 for English. We are in the United States. Learn the language.’

 

I contend that this is not a racist comment at all.  It's a comment that merely shows a preference for a national language -- the same language our laws are written in. 

 

I point out that it is actually racist to persist with the system as it is -- with the Spanish language being given such obvious preference.  By giving even a single language beyond English, you open yourself up to criticism for showing PREFERENCE to Spanish.  If I only spoke Dutch, I would prefer a Dutch-Speaking account representative whenever I call a company.  But the only option I have is English and Spanish.  Or perhaps I am a Japanese American, and would like a button for Japanese. 

 

My point is simple.  You can avoid showing favoritism for any of these foreign languages by catering to NONE of them.  Our laws are written in English.  We should expect our citizens or soon-to-be Citizens to learn at least enough English to read those same laws.

‘I shouldn’t have to press 1 for English. We are in the United States. Learn the language.’

 

That's not a racist remark. The remark merely shows a bias toward a single language for the nation, and that language being English. Our laws are written in English. It's racist to only have a button for Spanish-speakers. What about someone who would prefer to talk to a Dutch-speaking representative? They don't have a button to press.

Leaving Facebook? You can try... but 'evil genius' social network w...

The tide is turning against Facebook - last month, more than 100,000 Britons deleted their accounts on the social networking sit.

But committing ‘Facebook suicide’ is not as easy as you might think.

If you are truly determined to do the deed there are two options: you can deactivate or delete
