Description

What happens if a company’s official Facebook page is bombarded by hateful comments that damage the reputation of the brand? Or if its customer service representatives are constantly being abused online, resulting in accusations of an unsafe workplace?

No organization can afford to ignore the online environment—a good website and active social media accounts are crucial for communicating with external stakeholders and building trust in your brand—but there is also no denying that the internet can be a bit of a minefield. Thanks to its dynamic and real-time nature, it’s all too easy for a hasty post or comment to damage a company’s brand and have serious legal repercussions.

And, unfortunately, the organization need not even be at fault. This can happen even if a third party chooses to use your channels as a platform for hate speech, harassment, misinformation, etc. This session will examine the importance of putting strategies in place that mitigate legal, compliance, and brand risk in the online environment.

This program was recorded as part of ALM's Legalweek Conference on March 9th, 2022.
