Many privacy advocates object to the whole idea of social media searches on job applicants, arguing that employers should restrict the information they collect about applicants to what is directly related to job qualifications. Marc Rotenberg, president of the Electronic Privacy Information Center, expressed the view that "employers should not be judging what people in their private lives do away from the workplace." This view is a good policy for many employers, since it is valuable to maintain and protect a barrier between work and personal activities. Most people interact daily with others whose religion, hobbies, politics, and tastes in humor differ from theirsfellow workers, neighbors, car mechanics, shop owners, etc. Our interactions are civil and productive; we do not need to know all aspects of the other person's life nor to have similar views. There is enough human commonality and enough value in the interactions or transactions that we all benefit from them
