  10. Michael’s Rules • If it is free it is likely dangerous • If in doubt – don’t! • Use of the Internet requires real discipline • Don’t assume what you see is what you see • Once you send or post something you no longer control it • Delete does not delete • Never post anything you would not say or give in person • Don’t become the emergency

  13. DANGER-DANGER-DANGER What would happen if your computer was seized or it’s contents subject to a discovery subpoena?

  14. DANGER-DANGER-DANGER Could your email or Social Media site(s) be used against you? • What would a background investigator think? • Do you give away too much useful information? • Can someone profile you from your Social Media?

  16. Do you know your company/agency Internet and Social Media policy?

  17. What are your document control policies?

  18. Does your company/agency scan email and Internet communications?

  19. DANGER-DANGER-DANGER Most companies back-up everything including email. • What do you have that you would not want found? • Remember, your work computer is not yours.

  20. Some more of Michael’s rules: • Does anyone need to know what you are sending? • If what you are sending is something you would not want others to read – don’t send it. • Privileged and confidential materials do not belong on the Internet. • Don’t be lazy. The U.S. mail still works. • Fax machines are not yet extinct. • Anyone can post most anything. Do you want what you are sending posted for the world to see?

  21. DANGER-DANGER-DANGER Take note and use caution: You can be held liable for what you write and post. Don’t think for a moment you can not be found.

  22. You must monitor your Social Media as a consumer and as a business. Do not view its as just an expense. • Protect revenue • Grow revenue • Image and crisis management • Corporate security
