Social Networking, Privacy, Wetherspoons and the Law

For those of you doing an AMP topic about privacy and social networking, don't forget to look at any relevant legal cases.

In Preece v JD Wetherspoons plc an Employment Tribunal found recently that a pub manager was fairly dismissed for when she made inappropriate comments about her pub customers on Facebook.

This breached Wetherspoons’ internet policy. Many employers are not aware of the risks of commenting on either their customers or their managers !

This behaviour has led to a new phrase....Anti-Social Networking. I think we may be hearing lots more about this in future.
