Employers and Universities No longer Getting into your stuff

This article was about California employers and universities no longer being able to demand social networking logins and passwords. A thing I learned from this article is that previous to the laws being made, Employers could request your login to sites such as facebook, gmail, twitter etc. Another thing I learned from this article is that Facebook has actually condemned these actions in march in their "Statements Of Rights And Responsibilities" which forbids people from sharing their passwords. I also Learned that California is not the only state prohibiting Employers from getting into your accounts. A thing I liked about this article was that it taught me about how these companies are being stopped from invading your privacy. I also like that it gave examples of employers firing people for not giving their passwords. A question I have about this article is why do employers need to do this? Its Just, Not Right.
