Imagine you are recruiting new members for a student club. The club members foster puppies and train those puppies to help them become successful service dogs. You are looking for applicants that are friendly and experienced with dogs. While going through the applications, you find another club member has put together a database of what the applicants posted on their social media. You notice that some applicants have pictures of themselves with dogs or pictures of themselves at local charity events, while others do not. The club member wonders if the former group would be a better fit for the club compared with the other applicants. Would you use the information learned from the applicants social media pages when determining who should join the club?

Do you believe that using information from the social media pages is ethical?
