The Face Of Corporate Fascism - We Want Your Facebook Password - Coming Now To UK

Employers are now begining to demand your Facebook Login details at job interviews if they cannot find your public profile on Facebook. Links to some stories below. Two potential ways of dealing with it, tell them you don't do Facebook due to it's privacy issues, but, this is no good if they have found you on Facebook, but, can't access your profile or pages due to it being private. The other way is fistly not to create an account under your true name or at least deny it is you and open a second account under an alias putting minimal info in it and then never using it and giving them those login details.

I'm putting my neck out here, but, anyone with personal experience of this happening in UK please post details here.
