social media and the legal system 1

Assignment Instructions

Legal Pitfalls of Social Media Usage covers legal and ethical issues in social media. Pick a court case discussed in the pdf attachment, and research it a little further. Write a brief overview of the court case, which legal issues were brought into question (which laws were considered broken), and if you think the case was actually in violation of privacy or defamation laws. Please explain why or why you did not agree with the court ruling.

Your paper should be between 500 words and written in APA format. List your sources in an APA reference list at the end of your paper.

Important note: Citing a court case in the proper format is key. United States v. Paramount (1948) is correct.
