Reuters - Ban on Demanding Facebook Passwords Among New 2013 State Laws
Employers in California and Illinois will be prohibited from demanding access to workers' password-protected social networking accounts, thanks to new laws taking effect in 2013, Reuters reported. Michigan's Republican Governor Rick Snyder signed a similar measure into law earlier this month that took effect immediately. The Michigan law also penalizes educational institutions for dismissing or failing to admit a student who does not provide passwords and other account information used to access private internet and email accounts, including social networks like Facebook and Twitter, Reuters wrote.
