Adults need to understand that their publicly available data WILL be found by nosy people. And employers WILL be nosy, so they can find the best fit candidate.

I'm not on social media, and I was told by my friend's husband that he would never hire someone without a social media presence. What a little jerk. I suppose I'm lucky to be able to live my life as I want, and not be forced to present a fake online persona just for someone's gratification and hiring needs!

Let me understand this and how we, as society move forward with this.  It's not good to have easily identifiable online presence because anything you say or post under your personal name and with your photo can be used against you for any reason (including hiring).  But it's also not good to NOT have an online presence or have not enough online presence for your employer to not find you?  Do you really owe your employer a part of your personal life outside of work?  Doesn't this mean that employers will then essentially own your "persona" or you have to pretend and artificially create this "persona" you think potential employers are going to like and maintain it?   I think we are stumbling into the ethics territory here and it violates some labor laws for sure.  IDK,  I would prefer sci-fi shows like "Severance" to continue being fiction.  :lol:  [/quote]
