Investigating social media and public policy
Some time ago, I started a dialog with some University of Ottawa Technology Law folks about social media and public policy. I’m curious why it is so hard for government departments and public servants to adopt social media to build bridges with the country, and for those who do, why they have so much trouble being able to speak freely. After all, people can say whatever they want at parties and social gatherings. Why is it such a stretch to overcome the perceptions and fears of the online community?
Do you have thoughts, information or experiences on social media and public policy? If so, please contact me. I’d like to have as much background information as possible before arranging a round table session with key players and legal experts on the subject.
