Yes, but no, but no.

First of all, it expired on October 30th. Second, it was not an executive order by the governor, but an order signed by Robert Gordon, the Director of the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services. Yes, select businesses were required to keep a record of who came in and when for contact tracing. HOWEVER, if you pay attention, nearly every business has that information anyway. My barber knows when I have an appointment. Gyms monitor when people arrive and leave. Ticketed events already know who attends and when. All other business already have that information as well through transactions. Between Facebook, Google, Apple, et. al on your phone, they're asking for less than those companies already know and have. Not to mention other previsions are totally unenforceable.

It's largely a strawman article.
