    Today, as employees blur the line between what’s business and what’s personal, electronic gaffes, outbursts, and spontaneous attacks span the globe in 80 milliseconds. It can happen anywhere at any time—not just from the office, not just from your network, not just from corporate devices. To stay in control of this ever-changing threat, attorneys, corporate policymakers, and communications professionals must master the social media legal landscape.

    Social Media: Legal Risk and Corporate Policy quickly puts you in charge with:

    • The only practical, social media policy-creation toolkit that includes sample provisions
    • Proven techniques for navigating conflicts between policy and privacy
    • Valuable analysis of the implications and applications of social media cases—including labor and employment litigation and regulatory concerns
    • Exclusive insights from expert, author, attorney, consultant, and professor Adam Cohen

    Now you can establish sound social media policy quickly, because Social Media: Legal Risk and Corporate Policy gives you immediate access to concise, comprehensive coverage. Spanning two distinct sections— “Managing Legal Risk” and “Navigating the Social Media Services’ Privacy Policies and Practices”—this book is organized to speed your policy creation and support ongoing management of social media issues.

    You will also receive “at-your-fingertips” access to numerous appendices designed to save you time by taking you directly to key primary source documents. Buyers gain access to ongoing social media law updates from the author.
