Law Glossary
Social media law is a developing area of the law that includes both criminal and civil aspects. Generally, it covers legal issues related to user-generated content and the online sites that host or transmit it. Some of the special legal concerns raised by social media include privacy, including the rights of both social media users and third parties (for example, when photos are posted and used online without the permission of the people depicted); defamation; advertising law; and intellectual property (IP) law. Material shared on social media can sometimes infringe on a copyright, a trademark, or other IP rights.

What Is Consumer Tracking Law?
Companies analyze consumers’ online activities by tracking their behavior. There is no specific consumer tracking law in the U.S. at the federal level; however, Federal Trade Commission Behavioral Advertising Principles recommend that websites disclose data collection policies that are used to create targeted marketing. The legal areas of consumer tracking deal with how websites, analytics companies, advertisers, plug-in providers, and other online services track users via first- and third-party cookies, as well as other methods. Consumers do have the option to use the Do Not Track (DNT) settings available in web browser settings, though companies do not have to legally follow DNT requests. If a company adopts a policy of honoring Do Not Track requests, it is legally required to follow that policy. The FTC also has guidelines for the collection of user location data by mobile apps when the apps are not in use.
