Bozeman City job requirement raises privacy concerns

"Please list any and all, current personal or business websites, web pages or memberships on any Internet-based chat rooms, social clubs or forums, to include, but not limited to: Facebook, Google, Yahoo, YouTube.com, MySpace, etc.," the City form states. There are then three lines where applicants can list the Web sites, their user names and log-in information and their passwords.
This has got to be one of the most ridiculous things I have ever heard. No job is worth giving out all of my private information, especially since they get more than enough through social security number as it is. There are very many times I am quite happy about having one of the most common names possible, as it is much harder to find me.
