Employees Blogging Secrets
"We can't let employees blog. They may let company secrets out."
I hear this sentiment more than you may imagine. Is this a legitimate concern?
Well, we heard the EXACT same thing about email 10-15 years ago: "We can't let ordinary employees have email. That is an absurd idea! What if they email proprietary business information?"
Maybe we had the same brouhaha when telephones were new? "We can't let employees use telephones. What if they tell someone something they shouldn't?" Don't know -- I'm not that old, but I can imagine it!
Is this a legitimate concern?
Employees blabbing secrets, yes. Blogs being the problem? Absolutely not, no more than email or telephones or smoke signals (errr, that's why most companies have written employee communication policies, which say things like "Thou shalt not release company secrets, under penalty of excommunication, possible termination and/or stoning").
