Some people are so stupid. You CAN turn off you active status in settings and make every Facebook post " friends only" It's not rocket science

What you do off the clock is not your employers concern. People can easily take screen shots. I recently posted an article a student went to a private party and the DJ at the event took some video of the party and the student was doing some silly twerking or something so she had her scholarship revoked. It was a private party and someone took pics. She didn't take or post any pics online. I mean it's kind of funny you cannot legally RECORD someone's voice without their consent but you can take and post pics everywhere of everyone you want. But employers do not own your life. You agreed to perform and do a job at certain wage, not to hand your life , medical records, credit reports, take some personality test, and on. They think they can call you off the clock and expect you to work by phone, email, zoom, etc without compensation? No. You don't OWN me 24/7 unless you paying for those hours.

It can't hurt- nothing wrong with asking it'll give ya more background on the person and for a new hire the employer should get as much background info as they can.

The Harvard student groups who co-signed the anti-Israel letter are simple fools. But it’s not productive for companies to blacklist kids for being members of student groups that make dumb political statements on campus. Colleges are spaces for students to experiment with ideas & sometimes kids join clubs that endorse boneheadedly wrong ideas. I’ve been as vocal as anyone in criticizing left-wing cancel culture (see my first book “Woke, Inc.”), but it’s bad no matter who practices it. It wasn’t great when people wearing Trump hats were fired from work. It wasn’t great when college graduates couldn’t get hired unless they signed oppressive “DEI” pledges. And it’s not great now if companies refuse to hire kids who were part of student groups that once adopted the wrong view on Israel. This isn’t a legal point, it’s a cultural point. I say this as someone who vehemently disagrees with those Harvard student groups.
Those calling for blacklisting students right now are responding from a place of understandable hurt, but I’m confident that in the fullness of time, they will agree with me on the wisdom of avoiding these cancel-culture tactics.

What employees do in their off time can affect their work time, a radical employee will have their radicalness flow into their work- even if they don't intend for that to happen. We screen employees for crimes and arrest records no one sez employers don't have a right to know that. When I had my last job I had to pass thru many screening tests and pass tuff employment background checks some going back 20 years, and one background check I had for an employer picked up a seat belt violation that I had in 1993, and I thought traffic violations only lasted 3 years on yer record, guess not.
They used some private company that does background checks for employers. I got the results of that in the mail. How far back the checks go depends on the employer and the security that the employer needs.

There is no reason a picture of you having a drink on your time off should cost you your livelihood. Nor should voicing a political opinion outside of the workplace.

I don't think it's fair to be told to leave, and lose your job, because of your political views.
But then again, I know whole families who have been separated for ever more due to who they choose to vote for. It's craziness.

Well I know there are companies that would disqualify possible candidates for bad credit scores, criminal history and other personal choices or situations that may be out of their control so I see nothing wrong with it...A good company needs to run efficiently and the more seamless the better...

Outside of work what ya do (depending on your job)- can affect your job performance I would not want to fly in a plane if the pilot had a few too many drinks the night before, rallies can pump people up to do things that they would not normally do and then ya have the crowd or mob mentality that can take over, I would not wanna hire some guy who goes to alot of radical political rallies- would you? The colleges are a flame with anti-Israel protesters and I guess the the deans are having worries that rich donations will stop flowing into the school if they don't get those radical protests stopped. I guess the fighting has spread to near by Lebanon and expanded quite a bit.
