What are the legal issues to consider for businesses or non-profits using social networking sites?

blondie026 asked:


I work for a non-profit organization that has, in spurts, started using social networking sites such as facebok and myspace to connect to current clients, as well as a marketing tool to gain interest. What are the legal issues to be considered with these? How can businesses and organizations stay safe legally while using these sites?

Is it illegal for a company or organization to call themselves a University?

If in fact they are not a University and are not accredited?

I am researching a company that is the “Training Company” for a MLM corporation. This particular training company calls itself a university, but there is noaccreditationn for it, and it is not listed for the Council of Higher Education.

Can someone please tell me if this is illegal or not? They are operating in the State of Illinois, and some persons are listing this as their “education” on their resumes.

Thank you.
