Colleges and Employers Demanding Facebook Password...
The idea behind "seven proxies" is that even the proxy cannot be traced back to you.

My point was that the employer could trivially trace the online account he uses at work to one IP address, which is known to be a proxy.
Now the employer wonders: Why is this account going to such trouble to hide its actions?

You're obviously doing it wrong if you use 7 proxies and then log into an account that can be easily traced back to you. Proxies should only ever be used with anonymous and/or throwaway accounts.
