Enlightenment of Change Small Businesses Need to Know Internet Law
b'Connie\\u2019s fun quote is by ~\\xa0Ahsoka\\xa0Tano\\xa0and she says,
\\u201cThis is a new day, a new beginning.\\u201d
Do you know who\\xa0Ahsoka\\xa0Tano\\xa0is and which movie her character was introduced in?
Absoka\\xa0is a character from the 2008 animated film Star Wars: The Clone Wars. She was introduced as the\\xa0Padawanapprentice to\\xa0Anakin\\xa0Skywalker\\xa0(the future Darth Vader).
If you are old enough to remember the original Star Wars movie, which was released in 1980 - then you are old enough to remember the debut of the Internet in 1982. Just two years after this world - changing film came to be, our own science fiction journey began.
Sometimes the origins of the Internet seem like it began in a Galaxy far, far away doesn\\u2019t it?\\u2026lol. Our new reality is that we can get any question answered using\\xa0Google\\xa0and have that answer in seconds!
With this new\\xa0cyber\\xa0space reality also comes legal exposure for many businesses that have an\\xa0online\\xa0presence. Which at this point is almost all businesses.
Although\\xa0Google\\xa0is a great tool for random questions, as a business owner I would never use it for legal advice. The Internet actually creates a whole legal can of worms for businesses.\\xa0\\xa0 Not to worry!
