The question that I am asking today is “Do you think that businesses should check the personal social media account of their employees or do you think that this is an invasion of privacy?”. The article that I read didn’t lead me to any great questions because it was so straightforward. I sat in front of my computer for several minutes trying to come up with a question but nothing was happening. Part of the article talked about how social media is being used by companies when they are hiring so I decided that this could be something worth debating. Unlike last week, I don’t have a firm stand on either side of this question. Even though this question wasn’t the focus of the reading, I feel that it will help contextualize the message that the author was trying to get across.
I think this post goes back to my lack of attentiveness in the early part of this semester because all of the signs were telling me not to write on this myth but I kept on trucking only to get blindsided by an 18-wheeler of boredom a few days later. I remember that long night in the library very well. I had been studying for a Biology exam all night and then I remembered the discussion forum the next day. I quickly tried to find an interesting article on this myth but I found out that there aren’t any in existence. I’m really glad that this question wasn’t chosen in the forum because it was an awful question and I was not interesting in it whatsoever. If someone would have said something about it, I wouldn’t have any objections and praises to counter with. I simply didn’t care.
