The Louisiana state legislature is considering a bill that would prevent employers and public school teachers from demanding login information for email and social media accounts. If passed, House Bill 314, employers and educators in the state would be prohibited from requiring recruits to share this personal account information in order to get hired or admitted to an academic program. The bill was filed in response to a couple of high-profile cases in other states where employees and students were threatened after they allegedly participated in objectionable behavior on social media sites.
