    Changing the Rules


    One challenge in particular is in the field of social work. A social worker in the field of child protection, has
    a job to make sure a child is protected. In order to do their job properly, they have to investigate every
    avenue that could lead to some sort of abuse or neglect. The problem with investigation the avenue of
    social media is that there is possibly a divergence of opinion taking place within the field of child and
    family social work and that the stated positions are influencing how practitioners identify and deal with
    risks and opportunities afforded by the Internet and social media (Simpson, 2013).

    Legal Issues
    James Wehner cites that it is not a new concept for employees to talk about their
    jobs negatively as well as their supervisors or even their customers, but before there
    was social media, it was all done on a personal level; to friends and family, coworkers and other people on a face-to-face level. The people that would experience
    this negative talk were very limited. Now, with the age of social media, negative
    comments can be all over the internet. People can post whatever they wish to post,
    about whomever they wish to post and it will stay for weeks, months or even longer.
