It comes to no surprise that many of us use social media outlets like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter etc. for enjoyment and entertainment purposes. Since then, there has been an explosion of many employers finding various discriminatory behavior on these sites from their employees which can potentially effect their business. But now according to Nevada law ” an employer may not directly or indirectly, requite, request, or cause any employee to provide access to their personal accounts”(2019). Which is reasonable but, this also can lead to more discriminatory behavior to be put online.
Although this is a law specifically towards residents in the Nevada area, this can potentially become a thing in many other states as well. I think that all business should a social media policy law that prohibits what should and should not be posted on the companies pages. I am in agreeance that employees personal accounts should be left alone.
