The clarification around Facebook sounds like a step in the right direction, will be interesting to see how that works out.
It’s commonplace for business to block employee access to social media here (i think the statistic is >60%) and although of course that doesn’t prevent employees using social media in their spare time, it does point out that for most businesses at the moment, fear of the risks outweighs the perception of the positives!

A post a few days ago on Mashable describes a federal agency declaring Facebook posts as legally protected speech, even for employees who write negative things about their employers. View here: For Employees, Facebook Counts as Free Speech

From having a reasonable expectation of privacy while participating more or less publically in social media arenas to 61% of Americans supporting an Internet Killswitch, the subject of cybersecurity, free speech, privacy, and protection for individuals, businesses and institutions is worth keeping a very close eye on. Plenty to think about for sure!
