Foley Partner Melinda Levitt authored an article that appeared in E-Commerce Law Reports on July 6, 2011 titled “Piccolo v Paterson et al. and Zimmerman v Weis Market.” Levitt discusses two recent U.S. court decisions which illustrate whether there is a reasonable expectation of privacy associated with social media postings. Levitt notes that the decisions represent an emerging trend in social networking privacy that should give pause to the public before readily sharing their lives online.
