I was doing some research today for a final paper (due in a couple hours.... I <3 procrastination) about ethical dilemmas where technology is involved. Of course all the obvious things popped into my head, Google's street view cars, Facebook's Beacon case etc. But in writing the paper I had a bit of an epiphany; which as a result thereof I decided it was high time to jump on the Blogger band wagon. So the idea is simple, employers will often times request permission to pull a potential job candidate's credit report. The Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act (FACT Act) allows consumers to access a copy of their credit report once a year, one useful tidbit of information on the report tells you who all has accessed your information. Using this as a premise would it not then be prudent to offer a similar service for your Facebook profile?
