SMC Seattle Workshop: Social Media & the Law
I recently had a chance to speak on a panel titled "Social Media & the Law," organized by SMC Seattle. Also on the panel were Bill Carleton, Madhu Singh, and Rebecca Yoshitani. Thanks to Maya Bisineer and Richard Wood for organizing the event and to Summit Law for hosting!
There were good questions and discussion, and SMC Seattle seems like a fun group (I hope to make it to other events). My part of the discussion focused on third party platforms (from a consumer perspective). I uploaded my presentation to Scribd and you can access it here.
William has a recap of the event, with a photo. His part of the discussion was, as he described it, abstract, which made it fun and interesting.
One message which I hoped to get across is that while there are many interesting legal issues around the fringes, and many opportunities to say and do imprudent things while trying to get a handle on social media, outside of certain very narrow exceptions, you shouldn't let risk of liability stop you from going online and using online tools.
