I don't think employers should check people's Facebook accounts before hiring someone. If that person has the qualifications for the job they should be hired based on that. It shouldn't be based on what they post on Facebook. But on the other hand too people should watch what they post on Facebook. You don't want to post anything you would regret seeing later. Some students will post party pictures with alcohol in their hands and they could easily be caught for that. Employers are being unethical when they don't hire someone based on what they post but students are being too naïve when they just post whatever and think no one will see it. Some students need to be careful with what they post.

Could Your Facebook Profile Throw a Wrench in Your Future?
Dince attempts to look at several sides of this controversial issue. Who do you think is responsible? Should employers refrain from doing research on social networking sites or on the Internet in general, or should people post only information they are comfortable with employers seeing? To what extent do you see these employers as unethical? To what extent are students being naïve?

I agree with most of the things you said. Some students shouldn't be reckless and post pictures of them drunk where the whole world can see. I do however disagree with "i don't think employers should check people's Facebook accounts before hiring someone", everyone wants to be at their top performance in an interview. To fully see how a persons behavior you sadly have to look on social media.
