Officially, this could relate back to Shenck v. U.S. (1919) when the Supreme Court ruled that one does not have free speech when such speech causes a "clear and present danger."
Unoffically, this would seem as yet another method of government oppression. "Hmm.... I don't like what this person is posting. Let's see if I can 'regulate' it!"
Although online blogs could be considered a form of static communication that anybody can read, I doubt that this law could be constitutional.
It is my personal belief that while this may be the case for a lot of induviduals, it is not the case for every last person. Some people can simply work and concentrate longer than others can. A lot of factors can be contributed to this, such as work environment, stress level during work, and what they do during their off-time. I don't know if this is the case at EA or not, but I think that it is very possible that one could program for 80+ hours a week.
