With social media being such a big part of today’s culture, you would think that some basic guidelines would exist on how to govern it from a legal standpoint.
When applying for a job or to a school, the first thing people will tell you is to make sure you “clean up” your social media before hand. Sometimes that is not enough, as some places will require you to provide your login credentials so that they can thoroughly look through your profile before making a decision on you.
This seems to put a lot of people in a vulnerable spot with no rights or protection. A bill being proposed in Ohio would protect students and others from such predicaments.
In the article from www.ohiohouse.govthey state, “Technology has changed every aspect of our lives, and the legislature should address the fact that some of our laws do not provide adequate protections for our schools and students.”
Currently there are no laws like this one proposed, or any NCAA rules that protect student-athletes against social media privacy.
Although this is a law that would be upheld only in Ohio, laws like this are sure to spread throughout the country if this one is passed in Ohio and becomes a law.
