So Facebook
Papersatan:
There are a very limited number of protected statuses they could learn about from Facebook which they could not learn about face to face. If you were early in a pregnancy or if your Facebook announces your religion. Those are the only two I can think of. Race and Gender they already got by interviewing you. Also, you need to prove in someway they it was one of the protected classes which lost you the job, which is difficult. You are not entitled to know who else applied for a job, or who was ultimately chosen. Unless the employer tells you "I'm sorry, but we are looking for someone who won't need time off in their first year", there is no way you could prove it had anything to do with your pregnancy.
I think most companies who were asking for Facebook info were actually hoping to snoop after you had been hired anyways, to find evidence of you speaking poorly about the company, participating in illegal activities, or activities they deem immoral, all of which they are entitled to fire you for under US law. If that should be the case is a much more complicated subject for me.

My facebook account is pretty private. I recently checked using the "View As..." function and was annoyed that I couldn't make my cover photo comments private. There isn't anything on them that is particularly private, but I don't really want anything visible to non-friends.

This reminds me of when my sister was in high school and one of her friends started seeing a Mormon guy, and for her next birthday another friend got her a breast pump as a gift.

Honestly, that's a pretty funny gag gift. Especially after visiting Salt Lake City and seeing the hoards of children there. (The people are so very nice out there, but they have an obscene amount of children.)

Uh so apparently if a woman uses a breast pump often enough it can induce lactation, even if she isn't pregnant. The more you know!
