The part I got hung up on was the record keeping aspects. Tell me, how does one store DMs (that other people can delete/recall) and be compliant with FINRA and SOX...

The regulatory and legal bodies of these industries are years behind the technical and social trend happening, leaving a lot of room for abuse and misconduct. A good chuckle is on page 5 where they define "blog" with the Merriam-Webster’s Online Dictionary. Page 6- Third Party Posts, is also wildly off-kilter with communication happening in social media. What about spouses, kids, in-laws, friends, neighbors, etc? According to these rules, a firm merely has to network and make sure A LOT of educated/opinionated friends stop by to join the conversation.
