New Software For Employers To Monitor Facebook
An anonymous reader writes "The NY Times reports that a new service called Social Sentry has been released to monitor employees' Facebook and Twitter accounts for $2 to $8 per employee. The service also plans to support MySpace, YouTube and LinkedIn by this summer. 'Lewis Maltby, president of the National Workrights Institute, a research and advocacy group, called the automatic monitoring of social networking a "disaster," and predicted that it would lead to people being fired for online griping, the airing of political views and other innocuous conversation. There is a tendency to react to an off-color joke or complaint that appears online more harshly than to the same comment made in a cafeteria or company picnic.'"

Coward? Perhaps. (Well, he IS clearly a Democrat, so that's kinda redundant.)
Anonymous? Not so much.

Isn't it WONDERFUL how much easier it is to construct and then demolish your own strawman instead of addressing what he actually said? What an amazing debate tactic!
