Here's What's Going To Happen If You Don't Have A Social Media Law Expert Close
Hidden Policy And Training Gaps...

What You're Sued For

  • Intentional torts (i.e. defamation, intentional infliction emotion distress, invasion of privacy)

  • Negligence

  • 1983 Inadequate training.

  • Attorney malpractice (the in-house attorney training employees wasn't a qualified social media law specialist and only gave out general warnings)
.
  • PR person was practicing law without a license, unknowingly gave out employees legal advice and strategies. .

Applied Legal Standard

The U.S. Supreme Court and federal courts rule that social media is a "high risk" specialized area of the law. An attorney or PR staff can't monitor every "real time" post or tweet from a personal device. The social media message can permanently destroy a person's reputation worldwide; an attorney can't repair the damage. The need for outside expert social media liability training to all school district employees is obvious. See City of Canton, Ohio v. Harris 489 U.S. 378 (1989)

Evidence To Prove 1983 "Deliberate Indifference" And Tort Liability

  • Your instructor was a busy in-house attorney who didn't specialize in social media law which is required by the new 1983 federal standards. Courts reject anyone calling themselves an expert by attending a few seminars or doing a Google search, especially in a high liability area like social media liability.See 42 U.S.C.1983

  • Your instructor was a PR staff member (non-lawyer) who recommended specific social media platforms without having an experienced social media law attorney discuss the liability issues, or the PR staff member unknowing gave out legal strategies. See unlicensed practice of law standards defined in Sperry v. Florida 373 U.S. 379 (1963).

  • Social Media is a "high liability" area requiring specialized training and class materials. The instructor only gave out warnings, there is no evidence of a comprehensive class workbook containing the key social media cases, statutes, and strategies.

Court Holding:

  • Courts find the district liable for 1983 inadequate social media liability training and tort liability.

  • The professional development director and other decision makers are personally liable for 1983 inadequate training. There was "deliberate indifference" to the obvious need for outside expert training. You knew your in-house attorney wasn't a social media law expert and couldn't give employees the specialized training they needed

  • There is no qualified immunity because the harm involved violating clearly established constitutional laws (i.e. First Amendment, Privacy, Copyright Infringement).

  • The teacher or administrator committing the social media harm is personally liable. Most courts find the harm was intentional, not accidental. (You targeted a certain person or group on a platform you knew or should have known could permanently destroy the person's reputation in front of a large audience.

  • Insurance coverage is not a sure bet, especially for the teacher or administrator who committed the social media harm Insurance excludes from coverage claims that have been adjudicated intentional. You pay out pocket and your assets are attached.
