2 What is social networking? Social networking allows people or groups to join together in cyberspace with the goal of connecting with other people or groups online. Typically, users who sign up will have a profile page that displays their photo and lists their name and other biographical information, their interests and groups, their educational background and where they are employed. Generally, online profiles are publicly available so anyone can read them. One can, however, take steps to make their profile only available to the friends or colleagues they are linked to. Users form groups to share common interests. Many sites allow users to link to additional information, share photos, videos, comments, etc. They can also hold virtual events (such as a webinar), polls or competitions. 2

8 Broker-Dealers FINRA Guidelines on Social Networking If the information is publicly available and the registered representative is using it for any work-related matter, any communication on that page related to the firm s business would be considered an advertisement, just as it would on the firm s public website. If the profile is restricted to the representative s specific contacts or is password protected, the communication is considered sales literature. An or instant message sent to 25 or more prospective retail customers is considered sales literature. An or instant message is considered correspondence if it is sent to i) a single customer (prospective or existing) or ii) to an unlimited number of existing retail customers and/or less than 25 prospective retail customers (firm-wide) within a 30-day period. Chat rooms, blogs, micro-blogs, bulletin boards and similar discussions are considered public appearances. 8
9 Broker-Dealer Regulatory Concerns Standards of Commercial Honor and Principles of Trade (Rule 2010) Communications with the Public (Rule 2210): Must be based on principles of fair dealing and not omit material information, particularly risk disclosures; Must not make exaggerated, unwarranted, or misleading claims; Must give the investor a sound basis for making an investment decision; and Must not contain predictions or projections of investment results.

20 Twitter connects people by allowing users to post periodic updates on what they are doing or thinking (limited to 140 characters or less). Family, friends and even strangers can read these posts and reply to them. Industry experts report that 3.4 million unique visitors visit Twitter each month and that number is growing rapidly. Median age of user = 31. Often used as a news source. 20

39 Employee Policies Establish and set up compliance guidelines and policies. Block access to social networking sites on the company s network. Choose one of the three below for rules regarding employees personal profiles: Allow employees to post information about the firm, but require preapproval for all such postings; A limited prohibition against allowing information to be posted to the public profile* portion of any social networking website; or An absolute prohibition against employees communicating any information about the firm (other than the name of their employer) on a social networking website. Educate employees about regulatory and legal risks and compliance procedures. Require employees to attest that they are in compliance with the firm s rules regarding advertising and electronic communications. Set up an internal audit organization to review what employee s are saying on the social networking sites. Take punitive action when necessary. 39
40 Employee Internet Use Sample Guidelines Think First. Remember you are publishing in a public forum, so don t publish anything that you wouldn t want to be viewed by your colleagues or the general public. Maintain Confidentiality. Identities of our investments, investors and business partners must be held in confidence to the extent appropriate for that relationship. Securities Laws. It is very easy for these types of communication to violate securities laws. Financial Performance. Do not make statements about the financial performance of the company. Identify Yourself. If you are commenting or publishing on topics related to your job, identify yourself as an employee of the firm. Disclaimers. You should make it clear that you are expressing views that are your own and not those of the Company. Be Respectful of Your Colleagues, the Company, and Our Competitors. Rumors and gossip spread like wildfire on the Internet. Do not contribute anything that violates the Company s sexual harassment policy or similar human resources policies. Copyright. Comply with copyright laws. Fair use doctrine is rarely a useful defense in the commercial context. Use of Logos or Service Marks. The company s logo or service mark cannot be used without the written permission of the General Counsel. Anonymous Contributions. The same cautions and restrictions on communications 40 apply to supposedly "anonymous" blogs, comments or posts.
41 Firm Policies Sample broker policy Personal Internet Websites and Internet Profiles Employees may not maintain their own web page and/or other internet site with any business, securities, commodity futures, other investment-related content or communications that have not been approved by the Chief Compliance Officer. Use of News Groups, Bulletin Boards, Blogs or Chat Rooms With respect to communications posted by associated persons of the Firm on electronic bulletin boards, message boards, blogs and similar media, such materials shall be considered advertisements because such material can be viewed by anyone with access to these services. Accordingly, the designated principal shall review and approve all advertisements before use and a copy of such materials shall be retained in the Firm s books and records in accordance with Exchange Act Rules 17a-3 and 17a-4. Internet or third-party service news groups, interactive electronic conversations (through direct links or chat rooms ), bulletin boards and the like are not to be used to talk up, talk down or otherwise discuss any security, commodity, other investment, investment strategy or company or other entity that has issued or is proposed to issue securities. These services are not to be used to discuss any customer or customer account or as a means of soliciting customers. The foregoing prohibitions apply even if the communication is from a personal account, the employee uses a pseudonym or does not identify himself/herself as a Firm employee. In addition, information received from news groups, bulletin boards and chat rooms must be regarded as obtained from a source of unknown reliability and should be independently verified. Rumor and speculation are not to be the basis for trading. This policy also applies to social networking sites such as Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter and MySpace. Firm Websites The Chief Compliance Officer or his or her designee must approve all changes to any website(s) sponsored by the Firm prior to posting, including look and feel changes and updates to the website(s). Such person must also determine whether the changes necessitate a new filing with FINRA. It is against Firm policy for employees to post any Firm proprietary information on the Firm s Internet site, or a thirdparty Internet site, without prior approval of the Chief Compliance Officer. Generally, materials to be posted on the Firm s Internet site should be reviewed and approved by the Chief Compliance Officer. 41
