Teneros: “Social Sentry provides corporations the ability to monitor the social networking communications of their employees. Delivered as an easy to deploy SaaS offering, Social Sentry enables businesses to monitor employee activity on all major social networks such as Facebook and Twitter. It provides granular and real-time tracking to eliminate significant corporate risks related to: Compliance issues, Leakage of sensitive information, HR issues, Legal exposure, Brand damage, Financial impact”
NYT: “Lewis Maltby, president of the National Workrights Institute, a research and advocacy group, called the automatic monitoring of social networking a ‘disaster,’ and predicted that it would lead to people being fired for online griping, the airing of political views and other innocuous conversation. There is a tendency to react to an off-color joke or complaint that appears online more harshly than to the same comment made in a cafeteria or company picnic. – But he also said that there is little recourse for those whose social networking activity gets them in trouble. – ‘I’m a privacy advocate, and I wouldn’t stand up before Congress and say your boss shouldn’t be allowed to read your social networking sites,” he said. ‘You’re putting it out there for the world.’“
