The Danger of Facebook


Kimberley is in a head-on collision that wasn’t her fault, and in which no mobile devices were involved.

Kimberley’s unfunny friend writes, “I always told you that texting & driving was bad, haha!”

All of Kimberley’s professional colleagues now think that Kimberley is an irresponsible moron.


An old friend posts a picture from 12 years ago and tags your name. All of your friends see this.

Facebook, Policy, and UVa

UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIAOFFICE OF GENERAL COUNSELWeb Stewardship, Web Responsibilities

“Another example of pre-existing contractual constraints is in the area of music performance rights. The University has performance rights to music through campus BMI and ASCAP licenses. Under those licenses, recordings of performances can be posted to University owned and operated websites. However, the ASCAP and BMI campus licenses do not authorize posting performances to commercial or other third-party sites such as YouTube, ITunesU, Facebook, etc. Again, when in doubt, check license terms!”“Faculty who require students themselves to engage in new media by uploading their course projects to websites such as YouTube, Facebook, Wikipedia, etc., must pay careful attention to the license language of the relevant sites. Such “click through” licenses will typically require a statement of copyright compliance and also impose indemnification requirements on the individual posting the work.”

Concerns

What about HIPAA?

Should a doctor be ‘friends’ with a patient?

Should you be friends with your boss?

Should a clinical department have a Fan page?

Should a tenured researcher be friends with a colleague? With a graduate assistant? With a student?
