Social Media has become a true cultural phenomenon. Companies of all sizes are taking advantage of social media to market their goods and services and expand their revenue base. However, social media also brings with it new, and in many cases, unknown liability issues. Companies are being held accountable for the activity of employees on social media – regardless of whether the company is specifically aware of that activity – and FTC guidelines can impose liability for activities by employee endorsers and affiliate marketers if the company does not exercise appropriate supervision. This audio conference presentation is specifically designed to provide HR and in-house counsel with the ability to recognize potential threats and take action proactively before liability arises.
