Hang on a second, what if the interviewee doesn't have a Facebook account? Or just lies and says they don't have one? Would the next question be "why not" or "show us your email in-box"?

Don't tell me that not having a Facebook account now weighs against your eligibility in an interview? That would be sad. What next? Everyone must have a FB account by law?

And why didn't Braithwaite just not ask the candidates the FB question?

"Fired for refusing to invade interviewee privacy" is better than "resigns after invading interviewee privacy".

Edit... so apparently it's all fiction. Time wasted.
