Legal implications of what you post on social media

Social media has become a big part of many people’s lives. Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp, Instagram, Telegram, and many other social media platforms have become some of the prominent forms of communication we use today. However, what we communicate on these social media platforms may have consequences which can lead to legal prosecution.

Also, if you are employed, and as we have witnessed with some instances in South Africa, it can also lead to you being dismissed.

On this episode of the Tech Legal Matters podcast, we are joined by Mathando Likhanya, an Associate Director at PPM Attorneys. She specializes in commercial, regulatory and compliance law, media and advertising, information, and communications technology (ICT) and employment law.
