"This course opened my eyes to the many avenues of liability that was different than I thought and have been taught in my nearly 30 year law enforcement career. I have made this training mandatory for all employees, both sworn and not, at the agency I am charged with leading. I cannot explain how eye-opening the training was and how grateful
I am that you offer this type of training."

“Mark, your social media liability course opened my eyes to the hidden liabilities that lies beneath the flashy
façade of social media.. Until I participated in your course, I had no idea of the possible legal ramifications of simply liking a
post or other hidden social media liability issues. I would highly
recommend this course to every fire department across the country and other public sector agencies"

Here Are The Reasons It's So Urgent That You Make My Online Social Media Liability Course Mandatory For All Your Employees...
To Recover More Damages When Social Media Mistakes Are Made, Plaintiff Attorneys' Now Sue Decision Makers And Employees In Their Individual Capacity Under 42 U.S.C. 1983. Employees "Pay Out Of Pocket" For Legal Damages.
Deeper Explanation: Courts now recognize the permanent reputational damage caused by harmful social media posts. They are more open to adjudicating these statements as malicious, not accidental; this results in larger damage awards that can wipe out an employee's personal finances.

Out of 5,314 people who took my online social media law competency test, the failure rate was 99%; the average score was 13%.
Here's a score breakdown by subject matter:
Correct answers on new speech laws using private accounts: 15%
Correct answers on new social media libel laws: 4%
Correct answers on new social media privacy laws: 9%
Correct answers on new social media copyright laws: 25%

The Biggest Mistake You Can Make Is Thinking You Are Set Because You Have A Social Media Policy
The U.S. Supreme Court classifies social media as a "high risk" conduit for harassment and discrimination; social media policies are no longer enough. To enforce your policy, you must show proof that all employees received outside expert social media liability training.
In-House Attorneys Support Making My Online Course Mandatory For All Employees Because They Are Not 30 Year Digital Media Law Experts Like Me...
Courts Reject These Excuses To Ignore
Expert Social Media Liability Training
We have a social media policy.
Our attorney handles everything.
We can't afford expert training.
We have never been sued.
We are just a small agency.
We have insurance to protect us.
2 Myth-Busters About Having Insurance...
Myth-Buster #1: Even if you are covered by insurance for social media mistakes, your premiums will skyrocket and your insurance doesn't cover the loss of public trust from hurtful employee social media mistakes.
Myth-Buster #2: Even if employees obtain personal liability insurance, their claims can be denied if a court finds the social media posts were malicious; insurance doesn't cover claims that involve malicious conduct.
Here's The Biggest Benefit Of My
Social Media Liability Programs
My Online Courses Give You Critical Documentation To Defeat Negligent Training And Other Related Social Media Lawsuits.
