HR can and often will choose not to hire you based on your social media, as irrelevant as your actions therein may appear to your job or your ability to perform it.
On your social media, sure. If I went around and acted like an idiot on my social media, and did it constantly, then certainly some companies would choose not to hire me. Or if, while hired, I decided to represent the company in any way I wasn't supposed to ("Well I work for X, and I can say you're just an arse").

But that's the point--it's not something you yourself are doing, it's something others are doing without your consent.
