Like Law & Order?
Have you considered the law in social media? There are conversations ranging from copyright infringement to employers asking for account logins, or what photos are “ok” to post to how to deal with negative comments online. If you’re involved in social media, these legal issues can and will affect you. The risk assessment is simply this: “If you have a doubt it, don’t use/post it.” Use common sense! If working with minors, get the parents permission first. For group photos in the workplace, have each employee sign a consent form in advance. this will save you from headaches in the long run. Keep in mind that employers have a right to regulate the workplace. If your posts are considered “disruptive” in any fashion, the first amendment will not protect you. I can’t wait to see how the law surrounding social media evolves and to learn more about how we can protect ourselves.
