Hello my friends!
The end is creeping up on us ever so
slowly, and I am wishing that is comes very soon! I for one am getting very
ready for summer and really looking forward to it. The article that I looked up
for this blog post today is about how social media is playing a big role in
some types of businesses. The interviewer asked a few different types of
questions about social media to a group of individuals at a company. The
article is mostly consisting of a long video that is filmed. The man in the
video is the one who has written the article and it is him doing a seminar of
sorts for companies and social media. One of the major points that the author
brings up is the legality of social media demands from companies. The author states, “The ease with which
companies now engage in social media marketing and branding means intellectual
property rights and privacy rights may
not always be properly respected. Companies must be mindful of these
social media legal issues, or run they run the risk of exposure to costly
litigation. And employers have recently started requesting social media account
information during interviews, but few realize that social media use in the hiring process may expose a company to a host of
potential legal issues and state and federal laws. I stressed that
employers should plan ahead before deciding to delve into social media in the
hiring process.” So, what the author is talking about is that it is not really
worth the potential risks to the companies of being sued by employees. I would
tend to agree with the author.
Hopefully this will change soon!

The social media machine will not be slowing down anytime soon. Businesses will continue to take advantage of it in fair and unfair ways alike.
