Discoverability and Ethics of Social Media Data
Recognizing the new trends in online behavior, lawyers soon realized
that social network sites were an untapped repository of potentially
discoverable information that could be used for impeachment purposes
against parties and witnesses. Such data might include profile
information, photos and videos, and comments and status updates
concerning a user's thoughts, activities, and intentions. However,
legal and ethical rules place certain limits as to how far attorneys
may go to obtain such information, some of which is only available to
social network "friends" allowed access by the user.
