Company activities include meeting activities, company announcements, to computer screens that display reports that are being made. In addition to company activities, employees also like to upload complaints about work, colleagues, superiors, companies, business partners to customers. There are also employees wearing company uniforms but uploading an activity that does not represent the company but is personal. These posts may leak company secrets or defame the company and coworkers. These posts create legal events. This research uses normative judicial. This study aims to determine whether uploads of company activities or uploads regarding company information can be subject to applicable legal sanctions?
