CONT

Ownership of social media contacts. The law [on ownership of social media contacts] is still grey and enforcement is tricky for an employer, especially where there is a mix of personal and private contacts on one account, and where employees have private log-in details. Whilst most social media situations are covered by existing legislation such as employment law, data protection, harassment and intellectual property, there is no specific legislation on social media.
