Posters beware: "A trial court recently found that a plaintiff had no reasonable expectation of privacy in what she posted to her Facebook and MySpace pages, regardless of the privacy settings she used to restrict access to such postings. This decision adds to the growing list of cases addressing novel legal issues relating to social media, and employers can apply the court’s decision to issues that may arise in their workplaces, including investigation, discipline, and termination relating to an employee’s use or misuse of social media." Romano v. Steelcase, Inc., No. 2006-2233, 2010 NY Slip Op 32645U, *5 (Sep. 21, 2010). The court granted defendants access to plaintiff’s current and historical Facebook and MySpace pages and accounts, including all deleted or archived content (which defendants could obtain from Facebook and MySpace directly).
