Find out what happens when litigants go head-to-head in a Web 2.0 world. We tell the tragic story of two companies locked in a bitter court battle, in a no-holds-barred race to protect their products, their market, and their businesses. How will they combat issues involving social media information leaks, rogue blogging experts, data systems in the cloud, and Facebook confessions? You’ll have to listen to the Webinar (sponsored by EMC and The Masters Conference) to hear the end of the story.
In this presentation, you will learn:
How to Find the Goods and the Gold—How do we discover and collect content on the companies’, witnesses’, and experts’ Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, and LinkedIn pages or blogs?
Issues with Privacy Laws and Privacy Walls—What privacy laws or regulations need to be considered when conducting discovery of social media content? How do they differ in different regions?
The Importance of Social Media Policies—What type of policy and enforcement activities will help companies to take advantage of social media’s benefits while minimizing the risks it imposes on the business?
