Speaking as the author, this is not my go-to argument, nor do I suggest it be anyone’s go-to argument. I assure you that in “real life,” I would never agree to such an edict.

But it’s like this: I felt that this particular argument hasn’t received much notice, and I thought people would find it interesting to think about.

Well, at least I'm not the only one who took your post literally. The argument is interesting. I feel like the reason it's overlooked might be a realization that once you have to make such an argument, all is lost, evil has won, everything decent will come to an end, &c.

Didn't all that already happen when we created Facebook accounts?

It certainly got me interested. After reading your post, I find myself wondering why any employer would tolerate the potential liability.
