As far as I can see, this is just a lot of political posturing. Such a law would have little impact, because the feared scenario is already against the rule. It violates the Facebook T&C for both the account owner to share the password, and for the prospective employer to use it. And surely it's already illegal for an employer to require a candidate employee to violate such an agreement as a condition of employment. Just because something needs to be done does not mean that we need to have the government do it.
