Banning will simply encourage anger and may be even hacking. Instead use an application that allows you to regulate content. For example, I haven’t banned my kids from using computers but instlalled a free app called Qustodio so that I can regulate much of what they do on the web. Blocking sites, watching what they download or who they talk to on Facebook and things like that and that keeps them off the harm’s way. In this age, banning isn’t the solution, regulation is.

Do you give all of your employees access to a telephone or the internet during the day, or do they simply punch the time clock and stand on the production line until the steam whistle blows? Have a social media policy similar to a personal phone call policy and enforce it. Your employees can be your best spokespersons and can use Facebook, Linkedin and other social media sites to find threats and opportunities for your business through their contacts. Of course the headline misrepresents your argument…you’re just blocking Facebook, not all social media, right?
