The information presented is excellent. However, the playback is too slow as if someone reduced the speed of a recording intentionally. Please speed it up or re record. Thank you. Emmanuel Ramirez

This was a very good introduction to legal implications with social media and has encouraged me to learn further. A lot of good information in a small period of time.

Well, actually it refers to US law and since I need information on European law, it was not really a match. However the course gave a general idea about the topic.

Yes it is a good match as we do a lot of online activities and this gives the much need visibility on the legal requirements

It's fine but the video could use some illustrations and/or animations for it to be more understandable for the audience.
