Here’s what I said the last time around:

First, I consider this the equivalent of asking to record conversations I have with my friends. If you as an employer think that it’s part of your business to eavesdrop on my friendships and romances, then we know where we stand and I will be over here working with someone else.

Second, I can’t give you my FB credentials even if I wanted to. The reason is that by doing so, I am violating the privacy expectations of other people, who do not expect that the things they share with me in private messages or on their wall or photos will be shared with my employer.

I have a similar arrangement with the person I date. She is welcome to ask me about my FB and email, however she is not allowed to rifle through it at will because other people may have an expectation of privacy in things they have emailed me.
