Our (Fios‘) webcast on Social Media, Permanent Records and eDiscovery is on September 1. Register here.
I thought I might be a bit hyperbolic with the title. Tonight I read a report by Portland’s own Marshall Kirkpatrick on ReadWriteWeb that Google CEO Eric Schmidt recommends that when teens come of age, they have an opportunity to change their names to shed the online identity they have created.
From ReadWriteWeb:
This weekend The Wall St. Journal ran an interview with Schmidt that offered tidbits like that on a wide range of topics. One statement in particular, that Schmidt thinks teenagers should be entitled to change their names upon reaching adulthood in order to separate themselves from the Google record of their youthful indiscretions, is something worth stopping to take note of.
Earlier this month we ran our own original coverage of Schmidt statements at a conference where he said that “people aren’t ready for the technology revolution that’s going to happen to them” and that absolute privacy would prove too-unsafe in the future. His latest comments seem both more and less reasonable.
I’ll be walking through the litigation version of the Permanent Record, taking social media through the Electronic Discovery Reference Model (EDRM) on September 1. Register here for Social Media, Permanent Records and eDiscovery.
Jackson Lewis‘ Ralph Losey, Brett Anders and I opened up some of the Social Media discussion in our Summer 2010 case law updates.
Speaking of Google, Ralph, my favorite educator and entertainer, intermingled some *eh* interesting YouTube videos of America’s Got Talent (with the Caveman Lawyer and Plato’s Cave) in the transcripts he so graciously posted on his ediscoveryteam blog.
