you’re likely to disclose confidential information...

you’re incapable of expressing yourself in 140 characters or less...

you’re incapable of simplicity, directness, and speedy response...

“Be careful what you post on Facebook...”

decide how you’re going to present your various selves online

• global jurisdiction; disparate local legal standards (strategic response decisions; e.g., Turkey, China, Brazil v. India)
