Social Media
Social Media Law is a growing law covering civil and criminal issues. It generally addresses legal concerns pertaining to user-generated content, online platforms that host or transmit it, and related issues. Defamation, Advertising Law, Intellectual Property (IP) Law, privacy, including the rights of social media users and third parties (for instance, when photos are posted and used online without the consent of the people depicted), and others are some of the unique legal concerns raised by social media. Occasionally, content shared on social media may violate copyright, a trademark, or other intellectual property rights.
