What are the rules for doing evil in social media? The Star Tribune explores this question in a story entitled “In social media, why let facts get in the way<\/a>.”<\/p>\n

One Facebook user, angry over a dispute with a neighbor, ridicules her online as a thief and a liar. On Twitter, someone accuses a murder suspect of being a killer. A blogger discloses sensitive details about a political candidate’s personal life.
\n…
\nCourt actions involving users on youth-dominated social media remain surprisingly low, suggesting a new outspoken culture that’s more tolerant of lies, rude behavior and character assassination.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The article deals with US cases, but raises the universal point that\u00a0“A lot of people recognize that these unaffiliated bloggers don’t have a lot of financial resources.”<\/p>\n

On the other hand, in some cases, the defamatory postings are made from their places of\u00a0employment\u00a0by people who can be easily identified. Last week, a federal government employee landed in hot water<\/a> for writing an email bashing a Sun Media writer<\/a> (and Sun Media itself).<\/p>\n

What policies do you have in place for employee use of corporate facilities for personal activities? This theme continues to remind me of a piece I wrote more than 4 years ago: “4 degrees of impersonal communications<\/a>.” \u00a0People say things in emails that they would never say to someone over the phone. And, over the phone (especially in a voice message), we seem willing to speak in ways that one would never consider saying face-to-face.\u00a0What people say things in anonymous comments add the further dimension.<\/p>\n
