With over one billion users on Facebook and the explosion of Twitter and LinkedIn, it is no surprise that social media has become an integral part of the day-to-day lives of employees across the country.

Questions of relevance and undue burden are nothing new to lawyers in the discovery stage of litigation.

Not surprisingly, courts have generally prevented employers in litigation from obtaining an employee's entire social networking profile on the theory that allowing such broad discovery would amount to the proverbial fishing expedition. Therefore, as the range of social media content expands to include new and different forms of communication and expression, it is important that information sought in a discovery request be relevant to the claims asserted.
