UK Court Rules that LinkedIn Contacts Can be Company Property

UK Court Rules that LinkedIn Contacts Can be Company Property

This is a fascinating read about social media and proprietary information as it relates to client lists. The assertion was made that an ex-employee's LinkedIn contacts, which the company initially advocated, constituted confidential property and that upon termination of his employment he could not maintain those contacts.

My question is, "How is a LinkedIn connection confidential when once the connection is made all previous connections, and future ones, then become known to each user?"

Here is a short snippet from the article:

"The High Court (in the UK) has confirmed that LinkedIn contacts can constitute confidential information belonging to an employer to which it has granted injunctive relief.

The problems for an organization attempting to assert ownership of LinkedIn contacts are well known. LinkedIn's terms and conditions say that ownership of the account is personal to the account holder.  Many companies attempt to claim ownership of accounts that are opened by employees during the course of their employment."

DO Worry and Be Happy?

DO Worry and Be Happy?

It turns out that activities that lead us to feel uncertainty, discomfort, and even a dash of guilt are associated with some of the most memorable and enjoyable experiences of people's lives. Happy people, it seems, engage in a wide range of counterintuitive habits that seem, well, downright unhappy.

Feds Steal Farmers' Crops Every Year Under Marketing Ploy

Feds Steal Farmers' Crops Every Year Under Marketing Ploy

I've been engrossed in the Horne v. USDA matter all morning now. Wow! 

Essentially the USDA requires a holdback of up to 47% of a raisin producers' crop every year in order to artificially inflate pricing for which they have not provided compensation to the farmers since 2002.

The Hornes decided to pack and distribute their own raisins since they were not being paid for almost half of their crop. Legal railroading of the farmers ensues under the guise of Federal regulation until the Supreme Court gets involved (http://www.scotusblog.com/case-files/cases/horne-v-department-of-agriculture/) and decides that this a real Constitutional issue dealing with the 5th Amendment (protection against the abuse of government authority).

Wake up! This stuff is real.

Good information to have and share about social media account hacking. #tl    #phishing   #identitytheft  

Originally shared by ****

Social network account cloning and profile hijacking is a process in which a scammer creates a new social media account using a profile picture and similar name taken from an existing user, then sends out friend requests which appear to originate from that user. 

The requests often claim the sender has just set up a new account or was locked out of his previous account.

The purpose of this scam may be to send victims links to malicious websites, to perpetrate phishing schemes, or to collect personal information from users that can be used for identity theft.

With the increase in drone activity, people are asking what they can legally do about them if they are in a property owner's "air space." Shoot 'em out of the sky??? Maybe. Maybe not.
