SOCIAL MEDIA AND THE LAW 2ND EDITION

Now in its second edition, Social Media and the Law examines how the rapid rise of social media use in Australia continues to pose unique challenges to established legal conventions across a number of different sectors of law.

Through the prism of sectors ranging from employment, copyright and defamation to the ACCC, privacy and the criminal justice system, this book examines the issues arising from the interactions between social media and the law and offers guidance to practitioners and students alike.

New to this second edition is a chapter on dealing with social media assets and accounts in an individual’s estate plan and the questions that should be considered.
