Billions of minutes a month are spent globally on social media.
This raises not only serious legal issues, but also has a clear
impact on everyday commercial activity. This book considers the
significant legal developments that have arisen due to social
media. It provides an expert explanation of the issues that
practitioners and businesses need to consider, as well as the
special measures that are required in order to minimise their
exposure to risk. The content is highly practical, and not only
explores the law related to social media, but also includes useful
aids for the reader, such as flow charts, checklists and case
studies. Various categories and channels of social media are
covered in this book, alongside the legal classification of
different social networks. Social media is also considered in the
context of human rights law by evaluating the implications this has
had upon the development of civil and criminal law when pursuing a
civil remedy or criminal prosecution in relation to online speech.
As part of these discussions the book deals specifically with the
Defamation Act 2013, the Communications Act 2003, the Computer
Misuse Act 1990 and the Contempt of Court Act 1988 among other key
issues such as seeking Injunctions and the resulting privacy
implications. Finally, the author also pays careful consideration
to the commercial aspects raised by social media. The reader will
find reference to key cases and regulatory guidance notes and
statutes including, the Data Protection Act 1998 (including the
draft Data Protection Regulation), user privacy, human rights,
trading and advertising standards, special rules for FCA regulated
bodies and social media insurance. This book is an invaluable guide
for private practice and in-house practitioners, business
professionals, academics and post-graduate students involved in the
law surrounding social media.
