Bozeman, MT made national news last week by reports that the city was requiring applicants for city jobs to provide their social media site user names and passwords as part of the job application process. (Today they announced that they were suspending the process.) Would you surrender your passwords if it meant a chance at a job?

While this is a little extreme, apparently getting fired for complaining about management in an online, password protected group is not. What are your online privacy expectations?
