It would be a nice first step to resign or take a lesser position. Yes, that sounds harsh. However, he's the CEO. If he's editing posts without permission his promise never to do so again himself is pretty meaningless. He's the CEO of a company whose staff he must hold accountable to shareholders and the public. Is he in a position to hold employees accountable for doing this in the future? He should be replaced as CEO and take a position that while it may make business decisions clearly is barred from access to the data. Then the company should appoint a Chief Ethics Officer or Chief Integrity Officer or something whose job is to make sure things like that don't happen at any level of the organization. This is a bigger disaster than just deleting posts outright. It's dishonest. It's disloyal to the site membership. It represents the shareholders and advertisers poorly. Just about the worst violation one can imagine on a social interaction site is to falsify another person's words.
