International Handbook of Social Media Laws

“I was simply riveted … [expert contributors] of a very high order indeed … so much more than a worthy compendium of SM laws and cases. It simply brings the whole subject alive … [it] not merely describes what is going on. It makes you think. That is why this book is so valuable …” 
The Rt. Hon. Professor Sir Robin Jacob. Foreword. 


“Social media has become the online meeting place. People now communicate on an unparalleled scale. Covering 34 countries, this text provides a useful snapshot of the issues that permeate virtual life. This text will aid the lawyer, student, journalist and others when looking for where to begin when faced with a problem in this fast moving arena.”
Stephen Mason. Barrister, International expert and author on electronic evidence and electronic signatures.

“In one wide-ranging volume, Lambert and the country reporters demonstrate that law can not only keep up with technological change, but can in fact stay well ahead by anticipating upcoming questions. This comprehensive comparative reference will be invaluable for lawyers and students serious about the widespread legal impact of social software, and the myriad ways in which different legal regimes react to these new and growing challenges.” 
Professor Joshua Fairfield. Washington and Lee University School of Law.
