Ep 62 - Know the Law: Giveaways, AI and Beyond with Ethan Wall

The Social Complex

When you think of social media, you may not immediately consider just how wrong things can go. But like any other platform, marketing avenue, or communication tool, there are always inherent risks when it comes to using, sharing content, or promoting on social media. While the law has historically lagged behind technology, it's catching up fast, and there's a lot of compliance that needs to be understood and managed when it comes to social media.

For today's conversation, we have none other than Ethan Wall, founder and president of The Social Media Law Firm, to discuss the evolution of social media law and the need for legal guidelines in the industry. Ethan emphasizes the importance of proactive compliance, especially in areas like sweepstakes and giveaways. He also discusses the legal implications surrounding deep fakes in AI-generated content and copyright issues related to artificial intelligence.

The evolution of social media law has led to the development of various guidelines and regulations for businesses and creators, but our best bet for protecting our organizations and content is to stay informed about what's coming next. In this conversation, Ethan breaks down where our focus should be.
