I think that the Governor’s veto addresses the idea that this bill was the solution to something that wasn’t a problem.

I worked for the C&C and the State for more than thirty years, much of that in administrative positions and never once did I have occasion to ask for access to an employee’s social media accounts. It just wouldn’t have occurred to me. (though I’ve been “friended” by a great many employees.) Most social media sites have completely adequate privacy settings though many people do not make use of them.

I just can’t imagine a good manager demanding that an employee provide social media access. If that actually happens, it may be time to re-visit this measure.
