#2Every once in a while Facebook does the right thing. Is there any sort of self-motivating factor that I'm missing here? (other than good PR)

I guess it's in Facebook's interest to get users to share without the fear of a future employer looking into it.

Their only asset is their users' data, and they don't want anyone else getting at it for free?

#7If an (prospective) employer asked for a email/social account password, you should leave immediately, period.

#8Isn't one of the issues not about obtaining passwords but rather being pressured into befriending the (prospective) employer's representative/HR person? Allowing them to trawl thru your wall and so on...

The trouble, as always, are the more vulnerable people in society. Folks who may not have a lot of options, or really need to stay at a current job. They are more vulnerable to this sort of exploitation. I wish facebook would organize an advocacy group or class action lawsuits against a list of these employers.

No. Facebook is too large for that sort of practice to not leak out. Just like Google isn't going to go through your gmail or search history. I know that Google locks down user data very tightly (there are internal processes you have to go through just to get to any sort of production data); in the same vein I'm sure Facebook's hiring managers do not have access to accounts or data marked private.
