The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) has issued several updates cautioning organizations on the use of ephemeral messaging for business purposes, and organizations that have not already done so should take note, ensure it has policy to address it, and conduct education.[1]
Former Assistant Attorney General Kenneth Polite announced last year that the DOJ will consider:[2]
-
a company’s policies on ephemeral messaging,
-
its education of employees on the organization’s ephemeral messaging policy
-
and enforcement of the policy
