NORA technology can take information about people from disparate
sources and find obscure, non-obvious relationships. It might
discover, for example, that an applicant for a job at a casino shares
a telephone number with a known criminal and issue an alert to the
hiring manager. I found a blog that speaks about this:
http://blog.a1peoplesearch.com/2007/09/non-obvious-relationship-awareness-aka.html.
We touched on this when I Information Systems in school.
Now, I've come across this gleaner article (http://jamaica-gleaner.com/
gleaner/20120321/business/business95.html#.T2n41kBcdUA.facebook). Now
I know this isn't news. The employers are trying to implement NORA, if
even unintentionally. But is this even legally let alone ethically
sound? Why should my boss have control over what I do in my down time?
If I recal, sharing ur password with anyone regardless of the
circumstance is against Facebook's terms of use. In fact, if my
interviewer had the audacity to ask that of me, I'd leave the
interview promptly. My time and space is MY time and space. Bright!
