An article by Barry Murphy published on the Forbes.com website.
The article discusses social media use, and the relationship between social media and eDiscovery.
The article states, "Who could have known how expensive it would be to process Terabytes of email only to find that a small percentage was even relevant to the case at hand? In the social media realm, however, companies can not hide behind ignorance. Instead, they can get ahead of social media by putting in place governance policies, processes, and tools to ensure that the email history lesson informs these new methods of collaboration.
Social media, like e-mail, has gained traction. In order to avoid the mistakes made in the email generation, companies must figure out ways on how to best collect and preserve social media content in the event it is needed for eDiscovery. Today, this practice is extremely immature. Across the board, 15% or less of eDJ’s The Cloud and eDiscovery survey respondents indicated having had to collect from a popular social media service."
The article goes on to provide some suggestions for establishing an policy to help govern social media use, and assist in litigation readiness when social media messages are subject to a request for production.
