Could Social Networking Ruin US Data Conservation?


Draft an e-mail for the signature of your boss, Darcy M. Diamond, Director, Network Defense. Your message should remind all employees about the existing social networking policy and tactfully yet clearly announce the end of Facebook use at the office. The prohibition is effective immediately. Your message should also warn about the pitfalls of oversharing online.

RE: New Social Networking Policy Effective Immediately-

No On/Off the Job Facebook



To Network Defense Staff:



Permanent Prohibition to Online Social Networking at the Workplace:

            It has been brought to my attention, that some employees, are sharing their personal lives, far too generously-both: in their free time, and at work, on the popular social networking website: Facebook. The Network Defense company, has a reputation to protect, and the after-hours activities, of some employees, are not appropriate, and being readily shared, on Facebook-in association, with the: Network Defense company. An IT company assumes risks, when posting marketing information online, in association, with various online social networking websites-those risks, must be managed and controlled, to limit any extreme circumstances, that could lead to unwelcome, and unwanted litigation (Anonymous, 2011, p. 23).

Private Home Use of Online Social Networking Websites:

       Issues pertaining, to online social networking, can easily be deterred at work, however, when the long work day is over-employees usually have a right, to log-online to Facebook-when they finally get home (Anonymous, 2001, p. 23). I think that this is a relatively new idea-limiting the use, of online social networking, by employees. (For me, it would be too restrictive, a work environment for me, if my employer, were to inform me, that I was no longer permitted-not even in my private, and free time at home, to log-on, to my favorite online social networking website-which, happens to be: Twitter.) Employees at Network Defense, will have to think hard, and make a difficult choice-either, discontinue all online social networking, because the conversations are embarrassing to the company-or, decide to quit, and to work elsewhere.

Security Breach Threats Continue to Surface from Online Social Networking Websites:

       In addition, to concerns regarding the reputation, of any given company, there are security breach issues, related to online cyber threats, that will diminish, after online social networking from the workplace-has be completely halted: malware, phishing, viruses, worms, etc. (Anonymous, 2011, p. 23). The company, must weigh, the benefits, against the risks, when deciding, what type of online activities, should occur, in the workplace, and when reflecting upon, how the after-hours, online posts to Facebook-from employees-affect the company image.

      However-although, the new policy seems stringent, and Network Defense, does has some genuine concerns, about employees going: “underground,” to continue to post to Facebook-against strong warnings, from upper management (Anonymous, 2011, p. 23). We, at: Network Defense, rest assured, that the new: “No Facebook,” policy, will do the company-far more good, than harm. Thank you, for your continued support, and interest-regarding all matters pertinent, to: the success, and the betterment, of: Network Defenses, LLC.
