Description
Social media continues to challenge the legal playing field as new topics are raising numerous legal and regulatory issues in many jurisdictions, such as how these platforms are becoming global marketplaces and use algorithms that combine personal and product data; the combination of content and communications with the newest technologies; and user-created content.
