Whether through a forum, blog, Facebook page, or YouTube video, associations employ social media to communicate with their members and other important constituencies quickly and cost effectively. While social media engagement has many benefits, its usage also raises legal risks. In this session—part of a four-part online seminar series on legal issues affecting associations that non-lawyers should be aware of—you’ll identify potential liability associated with social media activities, including copyright and trademark infringement, defamation, violations of privacy, and antitrust concerns. Learn what to look for in website disclaimers, forum terms of use, and social media policies to minimize liability.
