Not in Germany, they don't. Legolas Send a noteboard - 13/09/2010 07:16:40 PM
What are your feelings on this? Do you think HR has any business looking at your personal life outside of work? Is it discrimination, or is it your own damn fault for not making your profile "friends only"?

The latter, really. Same as with other stuff on the internet - if you're going to make information about yourself publicly available to anyone who googles your name, it'd better be stuff you don't mind anyone seeing, including potential employers.
