The problem is this: say you are my friend, and you have such a (fuzzily defined) "employer provided" account.
If I have trusted your account, without knowing that it is your business account, my expectation of privacy for personal information I have shared with you is now broken.
It's an easy cop-out to say don't share anything you don't want shared with everyone. Too easy.
I do want to be able to share with just certain friends, and I don't want to unexpectedly have that shared, semi-private, information shared with the company they work for. This is a serious flaw with the bill.
I'm not sure that that's the responsibility of legislation. If you are misled (even unintentionally) as the the nature of the account you are sharing private information with, then the responsibility for having broken the trust lies with your friend. In this senario, you have willingly shared private information with the employer.
Now, wether there should be legal ramifications for such a violation of trust may be a worthwhile questions, but not one that this bill, which only amends an existing law, even even attempting to consider.
