    It’s anecdotal, but back when I was on Reddit, I saw someone say that a prospective employer actually required your full credentials so that they could check your private information as well.

      That not only sounds illegal and shady, it would be the dumbest thing you could do.

      Now somebody else has your account, uploads some Epstein material for shits and giggles and you can go to jail

      That is an immediate “Nope the fuck out of there, you do NOT want to work in het place”

      i recently looked up the Security clearance law in my country, which has 3 levels.

      And only in the highest level, for social media, all they do is look at your public profile (if i did not misread it) (They do stuff like asking people close to you questions tho)

        Yeah but this is asking for their credentials which is an absolute direct NO, as that would be extremely risky for me
