• School Sued For Reading Student's Private Facebook Messages by Wendy Davis (PolicyBlog on 07/23/2009)
  

  Dan, I think this type of official activity clearly has the potential to impact the advertising and media business. A demand by a school, or employer or the government to view consumers' Facebook pages could have a long-lasting impact on people’s inclination to use social media. And that would certainly affect companies that are currently attempting to use sites like Facebook to market to consumers.
