I would never tell an employer about any of my social media identities. I don't try to hide them, and I stand by anything I say online, but I'd never give an employer my Twitter handle (not that I have one) or any other public ID other than GitHub. That some people are willing to give up their social media IDs at all baffles me.
That said, I don't blame employers for trying to prevent bad PR. If I had an employee spouting racist nonsense and they didn't have the common sense to keep their identity anonymous--or even worse, they connected their identity to my company--I'd have no qualms about firing them.
I doubt an AI, or even a manual solution, can effectively handle this job, though. It's going to continue to be more of a reactionary thing than a preventative thing.
