Even if the headline had accurately described what this law does, it would have been easily solvable by letting employees report the names and accounts of their bosses to the social networks in question and having the social networks ban those users from using the social network for violating the terms of service. It would be comical if a CEO or manager requires access to an employee's Facebook account and the employee is compelled to give it to them under these laws and the CEO or manager then subsequently loses access to their own Facebook account. They'd backpedal pretty quickly as soon as they lose access to the photos posted by their friends and family.
