Legitimate? Yes.

Effective? Rarely, if ever.

I think that is the main issue here. Big corporations love to keep the meme around that "Government regulation" is a legitimate action, because they know how ineffective it is.

If it were up to them, we might be spend our whole lives trying to craft the perfect law, constantly re-iterating in a game of cat-and-mouse against $current_malpractice_du_jour, but at the end of the day it is all pointless because people are not going to wait and just use Facebook anyway.

A law targeted at Facebook might work, something like "posts by a business or government entity or non-personal entity" or something *must be publicly available without a login.

A similar policy aimed at ADA requirements for governments, state and local and federal, might also mitigate some of it.
