Montana ACLU congratulates Bozeman for rescinding password policy
The ACLU of Montana congratulated the City of Bozeman for rescinding its password policy in an undated statement posted to the organization's Web site.
"While an employer can (and likely should during the course of a background check) view an applicant's public profile on online sites, demanding access to information that applicant has set to private -- to be viewed only by selected friends and family -- crosses the line," the statement said.
Staff members from the ACLU of Montana were interviewed by the Bozeman Daily Chronicle and the Associated Press in the days after the story first broke in mid-June. Both of those interviews are referenced in my media coverage summary post.
