Pretty much title, but company states that I must provide links to my SNS accounts so that they can monitor their company policy regarding the leaking of classified material or potential use of company assets without permission (which I assume means software or materials).
I work in the IT industry, so this isn’t like government-leveled classified material law or anything.
Anywho, the easy answer is to say “I don’t have any” but silly me mentioned about “that one thing I saw on Facebook” during a completely non-work-related conversation which turned into the situation it is now. Some accounts I have are private, some are not (and I’d like to keep them that way, but…) it just seems overkill that I’d have to do that.
I searched the board already but didn’t see anything related to this, so I apologize if this has been asked before.

“I deleted Facebook a few weeks ago”
— which you should probably be doing anyway
Is it written in your contract?
I decided to delete my facebook today because I’d rather not share it so now I don’t have any.
No, they cannot legally compel you to provide links or access to your personal SNS accounts. This would constitute a restriction on the private activities of employees outside the work, and is not at all lawful. This type of requirement, or requests from employers to have employees add/friend them on SNS, is commonly referred to as “Social Harassment”, or sohara for short.
Your company CAN block all access to SNS from company devices, and CAN invoke legal action if you are reported as misrepresenting the company on SNS, and that is basically the limit of their legal authority.
Make a new account with barebones information and give it to them?
Why is that company smells like the company I’ve worked before? Is this a Japanese company?

What the hell?
You work for a IT spy organization or something?
Sounds shady as balls
