Earning money usually means doing lots of hard and unpleasant things. Giving your facebook login information is hardly the worst thing employer can ask you to do. Why is it so special? How do you determine what should and what shouldn't be allowed?



What if your employer wants you to steal from your family? What if your employer wants to have sex with you? You either believe labor laws should exist or you don't. If you do, I don't think the answer need to be anything more than "common sense".


> What if your employer wants you to steal from your family?

Stealing should be illegal in any case. It has nothing to do with labor laws.

> What if your employer wants to have sex with you?

Again. If you don't like prostitution, ban prostitution. It has nothing to do with labor laws.

> You either believe labor laws should exist or you don't.

> If you do, I don't think the answer need to be anything more than "common sense".

Those two sentences are classic logical fallacies. I can support just some labor laws and "common sense" is not an answer to anything.
