I'm just curious - do those things on twitters, blogs, facebooks, etc. have any legal weight?
for example, if you say something incriminating on twitter - and the notice isn't there - can a company fire you, but not be able to fire you if it was there?
I see them everywhere and was just wondering because I've heard those legal notification things at the bottom of emails are have no effect legally.
Thanks :)

Hey Cole, welcome back. Unfortunately, legal questions are off-topic as explained in our help center. Realize that in general, the law is designed to create a disincentive to do something, but cannot prevent someone from doing something (murder is quite illegal, that doesn't mean people can't/don't do it). Whether or not you would have a case were you to be fired despite having something like this is a question for your attorney, not The Workplace. If you edit your question to ask about what precautions to take when blogging about your workplace, it may be okay. Thanks in advance!

@jmac got it. you should put that information in the sidebar next to the question - would probably be better than putting it in the help center. I don't visit the help center before I ask a question. I like your working principles by the way.

Spot on Cole! I've taken the liberty to start a discussion on our meta, and I've asked about this before on Meta Stack Overflow too. If you have any comments or something you'd like to add, please feel free to talk about it in one of those places (preferably the first). Thanks for the feedback! It is really appreciated.

Hey Cole, as jmac says, legal questions are tough here. Answers would hinge on many factors, such as jurisdiction, employer contracts, federal law, state law, local law, etc, etc. However, you could edit this to focus on what your approach should be and why. This would lessen the focus on the legalities of it. With that said, our list of topics is linked in the How to Ask page. There's a lot of information there, but it's worth a second look. Hope this helps.
