Oh, technology. Long gone are the days when a not-so-flattering picture could be simply thrown away, Google didn't know who you were, and your "browsing history" was limited to which magazines you read.

The ability to easily communicate to massive audiences creates extreme risk of negative exposure for employers, employees, and job candidates. So are there any laws governing this? If so, what are they? In this webinar, we will approach all angles of this topic from the views of an employee to the business owner.
