So, how does this rule apply to social media? First, there are numerous ways one can inadvertently contact an opposing party. The most common mistake would be by simply viewing their profile. One must be aware of each platform’s peculiarities and how they work. For instance, SnapChat alerts the users that you viewed their profile. LinkedIn records when you click onto another user’s profile and notifies them of this visit to their profile. The same occurs when viewing a user’s “stories” on Facebook and Instagram.
