Your Boss May Own Your Facebook Content
01st Sep 2007
Those of you who use social networking website at work such as Facebook, MySpace, and Bebo could find your bosses may own part of the content, lawyers have warned.
The warning comes after a court ruling which forced a journalist to hand over the contents of his contacts list to his former employer after he left the company.
Employers may have grounds to demand ownership of any text, picture or other information added “during the course of employment”.
If your job involved building up a database of contacts, and you were using Facebook to do just that, the employer could claim ownership of the material created.
