Feb 2019 Charity & NFP Law Update

As new advancements and applications continue to develop with regard to the use of social media by charities and not-for-profits (“NFPs”), there are corresponding challenges in the law that should be considered, such as privacy law, intellectual property law, tort law, contract law, and charity law, amongst others. This Bulletin discusses a number of these legal issues and suggests that, at a minimum, charities and NFPs should have a robust social media policy in place and should coordinate such policy with other operational policies of the charity or NFP in order to manage the legal risks associated with their use of social media.

For the balance of this Bulletin, please see Charity & NFP Law Bulletin No. 441.
