Response to Chris MacDonald’s post about ethical use of social media in workplace

This article is a very interesting read; it revolves around an issue that has gained a lot of public interest in recent years. The rapid growth of Social Media came with its drawbacks. These issues were pointed out in the article by the various law professionals. The use of social media in the workplace has become an increasing concern. As pointed out by the article, screening of the employees’ social media accounts is on every employer’s mind. Also, when the employees use company equipment to access these sites and post messages about the employer or the company, another issue arises.

His colleague Avner Levin conveys the idea of how we behave online and act online to different audiences which also includes families and friends. We should do our best to make sure that our workplace policies do care for such individual needs.
