The idea of an employer <i>needing</i> to judge me based on what I say/do on Facebook makes me really uncomfortable.<p>Facebook is <i>my</i> social life, not the company's time or anything, and if I'm a decent worker + programmer just let me be? For example I swear a lot on facebook about certain current events, should I stop simply because some HR person in 2 or 3 years might look/analyse my profile and see that I use profane language?
Why does Facebook have to share this data to data aggregators? At some point, the creepy corporate use of FB data will scare people from using FB to the point that the bottom line is hurt. FB just has to shut off the firehose of data, if they have any foresight
This is why I try to restrain my identity on the net not based on what I might easily be used against me today, but based on what might easily be used against me in the near future.
