The lecture talk about Legal and ethical concerns in Social media marketing.

While social media carry great promise for new ways of facilitating business, its use also pose a special set of legal risks about which businesses should have a greater awareness. These risks may be usefully grouped into a few overlapping categories: intellectual property issues, employment-related issues, and marketing activity concerns. Further, what is legal might not always be ethical. 

Unethical marketing decisions damage the firm, society, and stakeholders (which can include customers, suppliers, and other “publics”).  The fallout from unethical practices can take the form of additional governmental regulation and red tape.  Clearly, social media ethics is a key concern today.
