It's a bit 'thought police' for me.

Its a work issue if you are "off sick" but posting pictures of you out on the razz...it is fradulently claiming sickness pay I guess. As it is an accessible resource then you can't blame employers looking up profiles - if you have two more or less identical candidates one of which is posting derogatory terms about colleagues and their jobs, who post things like "chucked a sickie today" and one candidate who didn't - who would you employ? Its almost like a reference point....
