KJK’s Kyle Stroup and Alex Jones Talk Social Media in Today’s Job Climate with CBS17 – KJK


KJK attorneys Kyle Stroup and Alex Jones were recently featured in a CBS17 segment titled “Navigating Social Media in Today’s Job Climate.” The attorneys offered legal insight into what happens when social media posts resurface and cause reputational harm, as well as potential legal remedies available to those affected.

As part of the firm’s Internet Defamation & Content Removal practice, Kyle and Alex regularly advise individuals and businesses facing high-stakes online threats, from harmful social media posts to reputational damage that impacts careers and hiring decisions.

“The internet is both permanent and pervasive,” Jones said. “While there are mechanisms to remove or suppress online content, they are not foolproof—once something is published, it can be copied, archived, or redistributed beyond the original platform.”

Stroup added that legal issues often arise when personal content overlaps with professional identity online.

“Often times this occurs when working professionals blend their personal lives with their professional lives online, like listing employment information on a personal Facebook or X/Twitter where they post their opinions and reply to others’ commentary as well,” Stroup said.

From advising on content takedowns to developing policies that protect employers and employees alike, KJK’s Internet Defamation team helps clients navigate online risks in today’s increasingly digital professional landscape.
