Hi,
I think it is a kind of privacy infringement and an unethical act.
Intrusion into an individual privacy remains an ethical dilemma to governments and private organisations
They should not.
However, the companie must have guidelines for the employees aiming to avoid leak of sensitive information
It is fairly acceptable practice as for some people social media is inevitable part of their life. Such individuals are clueless about what and what not to be shared on social media platforms. In fact, posting sensitive personal information in social media is commonly witnessed nowadays. But, beforehand such practice is followed by an organization, employees must be duly notified as not to do so and negative consequences if found guilty.
