Apr 9, 2011 - Twittervention: Social Media & Legal Issues for Employers, Educators & Parents
Social media is a fact of life for millions of people, so the real question is not whether we connect, but where and in what ways we should connect to benefit from online networking’s pluses and avoid its minuses. The proliferation of social media is changing us, raising questions for lawmakers/policy makers/educators and parents alike. With 500 million active users (the size of a small country) and growing fast, many of the legal issues with social networking such as Facebook are still relatively unsettled. Our panel will discuss how far employers and educators can and should go to guide employees’ and students social networking activities to prevent or reduce problems.

Advocacy groups understand this new reality and are actively using platforms like Twitter and Facebook to educate, connect and mobilize their members and stakeholders and to focus the lens through which legislators, policy makers and regulators view their key issues. Join members of the media, authors and political change experts for a discussion on how social media and cyber dissent are bringing about political change both here and abroad.
