The US may demand passwords to refugees' social media accounts

Hi Class!

Below is the link to the article about the US Homeland Security is purposing have the right to go through refugees' social media accounts for safety issues. This proposal causes conflicts regarding human rights and privacy issues.
Personally, i think going through someone's social media presence is tolerable, and it's become common, even though very few of employers or any HR will be honest and tell you they will look up you on the internet.  However, asking for login credentials is forbidden among the employment laws and that US government is considered taking this step surprised me.
Plus, information gathering from social media accounts are usually not reliable sources, they could be fake, exaggerated or framed. those information need second evaluation before it turns valid.
Also, it raises the same issue wether or not the employer should go through candidate's social media presence when making hiring decision. since not all candidates are guaranteed to have social media accounts.
