And I'm not saying any specific employer would do this, just that if they do, most people would never know. I think the key thing is whether permission is given.

I agree that the effort of deleting history in order to protect your privacy is not the solution. I think this same issue dovetails into concerns about social networks scrubbing profiles for personal information and personal pictures and then porting that data into an advertising widget exploiting your data. In both accounts, its an outside effort exploiting a technical descrepency - just because you "can" doesn't mean you should. Thanks for sharing.<br><br>Justin McCullough Hey Walt,

It isn't enough that we give permission for employers have access to our credit and background history, urine and/or blood test, but in addition have the ability to " invisibly test you from your home computer against any set of domains they might care to put in a list"? Ridiculous! I want my bathroom time to be private and blocked from others too, but it doesn't mean I'm doing anything wrong. It isn't enough that we give permission for employers have access to our credit and background history, urine and/or blood test, but in addition have the ability to ” invisibly test you from your home computer against any set of domains they might care to put in a list”? Ridiculous!
