An Introduction to Legal Issues Surrounding Social Media

http://ow.ly/5OO9k

A powerpoint presentation by Daliah Saper of Saper Law Offices in Chicago.

This informative popwerpoint touches on some of the key issues of concern to corporations, regarding employees use of social media. Corporations can be held accountable for employees use of social media in the workplace, and there are many areas where potential liability for damages can arise.

The presentation references several ways in which corporate liability can be created by social media:  Defamation; Privacy; Interference with Business; Negligence; Contract; Trademark; Copyright; Sexual harrasment; and Discrimination.  All of these concerns are causing corporations to try and regulate the use of social media within the workplace.
