Legal Issues Associated with Financial Social Media Posting
摘要
It is crucial to understand that there is no such thing as “absolute privacy” on the Internet. When posting online, you are not fully anonymous; it doesn’t take much effort for a web operator to trace the source of messages and identify your IP address and other digital footprints. However, web operators are not typically obligated to share that information, so in most cases, your identity remains concealed, and your “online speech” is protected by the First Amendment. This protection generally means that others do not have the right to uncover the identities of anonymous posters.
