    Maryland became the first state in the U.S. to ban employers from asking their employees and applicants for the passwords to their personal social media accounts.

    A state Democratic-led effort co-sponsored the bill, which “prohibits an employer from requiring or requesting employees or job applicants to disclose electronic passwords, such as for social media sites,” reported Herald-Mail.com. Maryland American Civil Liberties Union Legislative Director Melissa Goemann told The Daily Caller that despite the Democratic leadership, support for the bill was largely bipartisan.
