Who wants to work with me on my next startup, which sets up an innocuous-looking Facebook profile for privacy-conscious individuals, including friendships with other perfectly normal people and records of totally commonplace, unobjectionable activities? We can make sure that you'll never be rejected by a landlord, AirBnB host, or insurance company because of your online presence.

All for a low, low price of $9.99/month!

I used to work as a nurse, and certain bay area hospitals would want access to our facebook profile log ins and passwords as part of the hiring background check and our 1-year review.

How everybody got around this was to set up an innocuous, benign facebook dummy account with our real name, no posts excite liking the SF giants and talking about the Warriors games. Then we would all make our "real" facebooks with the wild stuff using our middle names instead of the last name. HR was none the wiser.
