None of us will ever work in Bozeman
Not by our choice - because there's no way in hell Bozeman would ever hire any of us.
According to the city officials, employee applicants must sign a waiver giving the city permission to conduct an investigation into the person's background, which includes handing over social networking login credentials to city administrators.The application form requests that prospective employees submit information on current personal or business Web sites, Web pages or memberships in chat rooms and social networking sites, including Facebook, Google, Yahoo, YouTube.com and MySpace, among others, according to a report on the Web site of CBS affiliate KZBK in Bozeman.

Hey there bozemann officials, I have testicals, and they are in a fleshy sac called a scrotum, but together most males call them balls, and you can lick them.

Just Photoshop the Bozeman city manager sucking off a police dog, show it to the interviewer and tell them it's not on your website---yet.
Should be the cushiest job you'll ever get.

If it were a private company, I'd be fine with it. As it's a government job, it seems over the line.

I disagree. The internet is public in the same way a drink after a nights work is public. That is just as permanent and lasting, just harder to track down.
Very few people know who I am. Even among those internet friends I count as friends not many of them know my full name, not many know what I actually look like (the pictures are decieving) only a small handful have the context of various statements I make, be it about the Marine Corps, or about my home town.
And to even find out who I am, you have to do a lot of work, not something that a normal person would do. I explained this to a friend earlier this year, I made the decision back in like 95, while digging around on the alt nets and stuff, and seeing some of the crazy stuff on there, that I would never attach my real name to anything on the net, which now means "I never want to be able to be googled."
To find me, without any additional information I give you directly, you have to take an active role in invading (not violating) the privacy of another. You have to be an intrusive jerk, dedicated to the destruction of an individual, focused on "outing" another person to stalk/research my monikers to find out who I am.
If I take steps, that are relatively inactive, to protect my identity in what is a social forum isn't that in essence "privacy?"
Now if one of my friends gives me up, that's not a violation of privacy, that is a violation of trust, completely different things.
If I were asked if I engaged in controversial activity on the internet or other social forums, I would probably say it's none of their business, or "dude I was in the Marines, I behaved inappropriately in a LOT of social forums."
Now it's different for people like "glenn harlan Reynolds" because his identity is open, same with Rand simberg and god knows how many other people who play on these interwave tubes, but I have chosen a long time ago that my full name will not appear on the net (other than in e-mail). While I broke that rule, ONCE! I've done a much better job of not broadcasting myself than many others. Hell, I'm uncomfortable using my first name, but it helps me avoid the more abrasive characters I've created over the years.
Any of you (there's a couple) google me. You won't find anything but monikers, and "true" stories. You won't learn anything significant, unless you actually know me.
As far as I'm concerned? I'm at the higher end of privacy. There are others who are more easily identifiable, and they deserve to have an internet outlet in which they vent, in anonymity so that they can stay sane.
It takes a SICK person to use, what is in essense an artform of personal expression against a person in a personal sense. Kinda funny noone broadcasts the predilections of reporters, but for a cop? How about a school teacher? how about anything? then it's okay, but that's the point isn't it?
YOU WILL OBEY!
The point is to create an elite, a group of deciders who are above reproach, but allowed to deride. A group that can't be judge by their characters, but by their titles, a group that makes the decisions and are unassailable, while they throw sails at everyone that isn't un.(I know it doesn't make sense but it sounded funny when I said it)
Find me, without talking to those who know me personaly, and if you have to talk to those who know me personaly to find me, then. . . aren't you kinda digging into my private life?
