2. 2010 web: not your parents’ communication tool

4. business
educational
commercial noncommercial
personal
sociologically and socioeconomically: efforts to
distinguish between arenas and contexts fail

5. eschew social media if -
you’re engaged in criminal acts and
prone to be up-front about it...
you’re abrasive - people leave you
caustic voicemails? death or other
unpleasant threats?...
you’re likely to disclose confidential
information...
you’re incapable of expressing yourself
in 140 characters or less...
you’re incapable of simplicity,
directness, and speedy response...

6. “Be careful what you
post on Facebook...”
decide how you’re going to
present your various selves online
Obama uses social media,
blends personal and professional,
and remains credible

7. hot spots and implications
• security, access issues
• “identity hacking”
• your own worst enemy: IP protection/licensing, IP infringement,
defamation, fraud, regulatory issues, confidentiality, “always on”
• 3rd party complications: defamation/harassment (don’t feed the trolls),
infringement, your liability for their contributions
• global jurisdiction; disparate local legal standards (strategic response
decisions; e.g., Turkey, China, Brazil v. India)

8. How much “cyberspace exceptionalism” (Prof. Goldman)
will courts tolerate?

9. If you’re not, someone is.

10. paper of record

11. leaks happen. they tend not to be this funny.
crisis response decision tree: get lawyered up, or have fun with it?

12. Have you never been “networked?”

13. the accidental hacker (there’s the other kind, too)
facebook.com/yournamehere -
no ICANN for social media

14. you can do plenty of damage without social media
confidentiality, ethics, legal obligations are cross-platform
have simple policies+training - and quick, direct crisis response

15. throw it at the wall and...well you know the rest

16. “emerging technologies”
