Linked – Facebook fired employees for stalking users

I know many people look at those of us who are concerned about privacy and the people who have information about us as some kind of conspiracy theorists, worrying that the government is going after us individually. I get why that can seem far fetched, but this is really why we concern ourselves with it. This has always been the more immediate risk, the random people who have access to all that information.

Facebook has fired an employee accused of abusing their position to stalk women online, and a new report alleges several former social network staffers suffered the same fate under similar circumstances.

    Linked: Employers See Employee Mental Health as Major Concern

    I’m glad to see companies seeing this as an issue for themselves, and not just an “outside of work” thing. On the other hand, when we talk about it in these terms, I think I can see part of the reason that there is still so much stigma attached to the idea of getting help for mental health issues.
