These State Laws Don’t Care What The Federal Government Decides

Vermont Residents Don’t Have To Accept Employer’s Social Media Requests

Anyone worried about potential employers checking their Facebook, Instagram, or other social media accounts should think about moving to Vermont. The state recently passed a law that prohibits employers in Vermont from requesting or requiring employees to provide their social media content. Employers are also not allowed to require their employees to add them to his or her social media accounts. The purpose of this act is to provide social media privacy for employees, although specific law agencies are exempt from this law. So Vermonters, post away!
