LinkedIn, Twitter, MySpace, and Facebook Lawsuits in Connecticut
Many businesses and their employees use Web sites such as LinkedIn, Facebook, MySpace and Twitter  to advertise, communicate with one another, share information and establish a network of contacts.  Unfortunately, many times social networking sites are improperly used and a lawsuit can result from such things as Facebook wall postings, Twitter posts, LinkedIn status updates and client connections. 

Every business needs to have a social networking policy in place for employee use of social networking sites, such as Facebook or LinkedIn. The number of lawsuits related to social networking is rapidly increasing related to employee rights, privacy rights, defamation, breach of confidentiality and commercial disparagement. We can help you develop a social media policy at the  workplace and for such matters as electronic monitoring and internet usage.

One of the most unnerving developments with social media sites, such as Facebook, YouTube and MySpace, relates to an upward trend of cyber bullying, harassment, and invasion of privacy including cases connected to devastating suicides and other injuries.
