- Abstract
The widespread use of the social networks as a vehicle to share information may be the source of labour conflicts, not so much (but also) as a result of the number of hours which the employees dedicate to non-professional matters during working hours, but mostly because of the information they decide to share. As a matter of fact, the frontier between the private and professional spheres of the employees has never been so thin and complex. The year 2014 was particularly relevant in this regard, since the Portuguese High Courts were asked, for the first time, to assess the labour implications which may arise from the use of Facebook. In this article, we intend to critically analyse the solutions pointed out in these decisions and make a brief reference to the jurisprudence produced in other countries regarding this urgent matter which raises new and delicate legal questions that must be duly addressed.
