Employer access prevents freedom

If we decide prospective employers have the right to our Facebook passwords and other such personal information, then a time will come when the only free people left in this country will be the retired and the unemployed [“Job hunt: Can firms demand Facebook password?,” page one, Feb. 6].

Eventually they’ll expect to read our election ballots. We’ve spent two hundred years defending freedom on the battlefield from every two-bit tyrant, from King George to Hitler. Please don’t tell me we no longer have the cojones to defend it on the job hunt.
