I had the opportunity to talk to Nashville-based lawyer Kevin Thompson about some common questions I am asked about social media and the law. Kevin is bit different from what most people think of when they consider lawyers and social media. He not only sees the benefits of social media for his own practice, but he understands that the world of business is changing and that today's laws don't take into account a world in which everyone is a publisher, critic, and pundit.
In this video interview with Kevin, he addressed three key questions that many people ask regarding social media and the law:
- What could I say or do in social media that would get me in legal trouble?
- How careful should I be in sharing my own opinions about people or businesses?
- What do I need to know about using other people's content?
Kevin's also doing some interesting things with social media for his own practice and a recent class-action suit he filed. You can see more about that at the Class v Efusjon website.
