Ethical and Legal Consequences of Corporate Online Social Networks (OSN) Sites in Pakistan

Corporate social networking offers a great opportunity for employers and employees to connect and exchange work-related information. Unfortunately, using online social networking (OSN) sites is not specifically covered by the laws of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan. Future social networking rules will be modeled by the National Labor Relations Act of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, as a civil rights legislation act, and common law principles like employment at-will and defamation. Besides security, efficiency, correctness, and justice in discipline, the forthcoming legislation is also impacted by ethical factors including kindness, privacy, etc. Employers and employees of interests should be stable in corporate social networking policy. Social media platforms are having a negative impact on Pakistani youth, and many people in the country misuse OSN. Although laws exist, Pakistan continues to face the possibility of restrictive measures against OSN sites and the internet. Laws now in effect and ethical concerns surrounding social networking should influence social networking rules, including formation, communication, correction, and policy review. Corporate social networking rules ought to be focused on business, guarantee user notification of monitoring, keep sufficient documentation, and offer a loyal, uniform, and objective assessment of the efficacy of monitoring.
