Social Media Policy Checklist

King & Spalding's "To Tweet Or Not To Tweet? Lessons in Careful Use of Social Media" includes a practical guidance checklist of social media policy considerations for companies to mitigate the risks of a Tesla Tweet-like scenario. Potential policy coverage topics include permitted and prohibited speech, use of company e-mail addresses to register or post on social media sites, workplace access and posting authority to social media sites, posting review and approval processes, use of disclaimers for employee posts that reference the company, policy violation consequences, and other key issues.

          See also our recent reports: "Social Media Communications: Review & Update Disclosure Controls & Procedures," "Board Agenda: Social Media Risk," and "Tesla: SEC Mandates Governance Reforms For False & Misleading Tweets," and additional information and resources on our Reg. FD/Social Media and Financial Reporting pages. This post first appeared in this week's Society Alert!
