Hackers are everywhere.  And does such a thing belong in the workplace?
Nope.  That's not what the employer is paying the employees to do.

In what way does "social media" lay open a computer to any hacker?

Considering how much easier those "social media" make identity theft,
IMO your employer has the right idea!  Laying your home computer open to
any hacker with the inclination to work mischief with your personal
information is your own business - doing the same when you post from an
employer's computer network is something else again.

Hi All,

There seems to be some issues with my employer regarding our use of
Facebook and other social media, so until they get their heads out of
you-know-where and into the current century,  I'll have to bow out.
I've been recieving y'alls invites and would love to participate but
we need my job.  AFAIK, the occassional usenet post hasn't been
outlawed yet but that could change.

I'm so sorry..
