better stick to a form of communication that maintains anonymity:

According to reliable sources, who shall remain unnamed, there are 147 people in the U.S. not on Facebook. The FBI is quietly hunting them down and rehabilitating them. The CIA is tracking other 7 in Europe and Asia.
I'm not on Facebook, My Space, Instant Messenger, any of that stuff.
I'm 27 and NOT on Facebook. Yes I know its pretty rare.
God I hate the internet sometimes.

So it is not a requirement to hand over your password. That is good to hear. However it was absurd to even *ask* for it.
The correct response to such a question is "I am personally accountable for actions carried out using my passwords. So I will not share them for any reason."
Asking for that information in an interview would be a self-defeating test anyway. You can't judge people by what they've done using their password if you know they give up that password to others ... beyond the fact that they are stupid enough to divulge their password.
Last week I was going to Tweet everyone to let them know I have Facebook, then remembered that I don't have Twitter, and nobody is really interested in what I'm doing every 5 minutes.
"Opening my cigar case to choose a smoke"
"Enjoying the aroma of my unlit choice"
"Cutting cap off cigar"
"Deciding which lighter to use"
"Chose lighter"
"Hold on, gotta run to the john before I light up"
"AAAhhhhhhhh, relief"
"Walking back to shop to light cigar"
"Picking out a single malt to enjoy with cigar"
"O.K., now I'm even boring myself"
"Canceling Twitter account"
"Follow me on Facebook"
Seriously, though, I do have Facebook. Friended several folks from my former work (I'm retired), then hid most of them from my page, cause they were posting every 5 minutes. That's what Twitter is for.

That's what my CB is for.
I thought that Twitter was stupid, but it's actually not so bad. I associated it with celebrities and their tweets about whatever, but it's more than that. You can follow people with similar interests as you. For instance, you can follow people who make posts about shaving, about hunting, about sports, about politics, about a particular country, about a particular topic, etc. You can receive legitimate information about stuff you're interested in. That said, I'm not on it. I don't need an excuse to spend more time on the Internet.

Holy crap! They tagged you already? I hope I'm 147 and they never find me.
CB radio is basically the same thing as Twitter, except not searchable or nearly as widely utilized.
Nor is CB dependant on a central company to provide the service. I think this is the real reason I mistrust Facebook, Twitter, etc. They are not simply a method of communication like email, they are a proprietary company service. Somewhere along the line they need to turn you into a revenue stream.
To answer the initial question posed in the title, the answer is no, you're not. I closed down and deleted my facebook and myspace accounts 3 years ago. I was no longer comfortable on those social networking sites and I was a member of both in their earlier heydays. I'm glad I got out and I wouldn't go back even if someone put a gun to my head and threatened my life. I'm happier without them.
You are better off not having any of those social network things. All people do is get themselves in trouble and let everyone know their business. Some winner who my wife " used to work with " was fired because she was bad mouthing the place of employment and one of the bosses was her friend on Facebook.....
I'm out of phase-book
