Another Facebook Faux Pas
A fairly frequent topic here is the danger posed by social media and the use of the internet in general. Obviously I’m a big fan of the internet – tough to blog without some good feeling about the internet. But any legal professional needs be mindful of the dangers of the internet. In essence, a professional must be professional on the internet because the line separating professional and personal lives hardly exists there. Lynne Devenney of Practical Paralegalismprovides today’s lesson in this regard. As always, Lynne adds to the lesson with words of wisdom. I have a lot of writing to do tonight, so I’ll not say more.

Robert, thanks so much for sharing my post. Last Friday, I presented a social media track for paralegals as part of the N.C. Bar Association Paralegal Division’s well-attended annual meeting and conference. An attendee asked me if I thought anything was truly private on Facebook. I responded that I truly don’t think anything posted on the Internet is private – but social media is still an incredible networking and career-building resource – if used responsibly. I added that you should just assume anything you post can be seen by anybody, and publish accordingly.
