Yes, you are still reading the California Employment Law Report and not a tech blog.  But since social networking, privacy and how these issues are permeating the workplace, I wanted to pass this New York Times article along to readers that describes all of the different privacy settings in Facebook. 

If you think employers are having a difficult time trying to manage this "new" technology, the article notes that Facebook’s privacy policy has increased from having 1,004 words in 2005 to over 5,800 words in 2010. 

It is an interesting read and can be helpful to discover the types of privacy issues that may arise in the employment context.  Likewise, courts are just beginning to rule on these issues, as a California court held last year that postings on MySpace.com are not confidential.
