Peter, This is an interesting article. I was wondering if you, or anyone on the list, was aware of a list of the UK regulations for retaining Email and Social Media. In the US, I can see each state having their own as well as many industry specific laws that are state and federal, which would explain why there are 5000 such regulations. I was wondering what it would be like in the UK/EU. In particular, I was wondering how leaving the EU will affect the retention laws.

These regulations, coupled with the constant threats of litigation your organization faces daily, mean vigilance is critical. This situation, however, places a heavy compliance burden on hundreds of thousands of public/private firms and organizations, as well as governmental agencies, which depend on email and use social media to communicate internally and with the world abroad. But before getting into the many rules and regulations, it’s important to recognize the difference between rules that pertain to the public and regulations that pertain to the government. http://bit.ly/2nfEz14 http://bit.ly/2nfEz14+ -- Peterk Dallas, Tx [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> Save our in-boxes! http://emailcharter.org “If only there were a massive entity that I were forced to fund to tell me how I should live my life, since I’m so obviously incapable of deciding for myself.” M.
