“A recent judgement in the UK courts has forced a former employee to hand over details of his business contacts built up through LinkedIn.com while he was employed by his former company. The decision is one of the first in the UK to show the tension between businesses encouraging their employees to use social networking websites, and trying to claim that the contacts should remain confidential when they leave.”

Bombay Crow: Who owns your online networking contacts?

For many people, the idea that your employer can jump upon the networks that you might have built up on Facebook or Linkedin.com is pretty unthinkable - after all, most profiles contain a mixture of colleagues and friends built up throughout an entire career. However, the issue here appears to be the contacts themselves and how they were uploaded to the sites - i.e. straight from Mr Ion’s work address book.

To be honest, I bet Facebook and Linkedin have rights to that intellectual property as well, right? I guess we will never get an internet user’s bill of rights, unless the UN gets involved. Until then, make sure whatever information you have on line leaves little bits of misinformation… just to keep a modicum of chaos in the system.
