As individuals, companies, and governments exchange massive amounts of information via social media platforms the law struggles to balance competing for social, economic, and regulatory interests. The ethical and legal limits of free expression in the social media landscape are emerging both domestically and internationally. Workplace, school, and home environments raise unique new legal and ethical concerns for social media users. The content of this course includes advertising, censorship, contracts, defamation, harassment, intellectual property, invasion of privacy, and stalking. This course addresses the scope of legal and ethical issues in a social media environment.
