Employees within the private sector are not protected by YGL and RF since it is only applicable as a protection from the state. Employees within the private sector are controlled by the duty of loyalty. The employer can regulate what the employee is allowed to share to the public.
The freedom of expression is regulated by article 10 in European convention of human rights. The article is applicable on both the public and the private sector. It is a protection for the employee to the state, therefore the employees within the public sector are protected. The member states have also got a responsibility to protect the freedom of expression between private individuals, this makes the article applicable on the private sector as well. (Less)
Popular Abstract (Swedish)
Internet och sociala medier blir mer och mer integrerat i vårt samhälle och dagliga liv. Det är en stor plattform där individer snabbt kan uttrycka sina känslor och tankar. Denna arbetsrättsliga uppsats undersöker betydelsen av internet och sociala mediers framväxt kopplat till arbetslivet. Vad en arbetstagare får göra och inte på sociala medier och hur en arbetsgivare får begränsa detta.
Arbetstagare inom offentlig sektor har en grundlagsskyddad yttrandefrihet. Deras arbetsgivare får inte hindra dem att använda sin yttrandefrihet. Arbetstagarens skydd ser olika ut beroende på vilken plattform uttalandet görs. Om det görs via en blogg eller annan envägskommunikation så har arbetstagaren skydd i YGL, genom databasregeln.

Arbetstagare inom offentlig sektor har en grundlagsskyddad yttrandefrihet. Deras arbetsgivare får inte hindra dem att använda sin yttrandefrihet. Arbetstagarens skydd ser olika ut beroende på vilken plattform uttalandet görs. Om det görs via en blogg eller annan envägskommunikation så har arbetstagaren skydd i YGL, genom databasregeln. Om uttalandet istället görs via ett tvåvägskommunikations medie har arbetstagaren skydd genom RF.
En arbetstagare inom privat sektor omfattas inte av regleringarna i YGL eller RF då de endast gäller mot det allmänna. Inom privat sektor regleras arbetstagares rätt att uttala sig i sociala medier av lojalitetsplikten som föreligger enligt anställningsavtal.
Yttrandefriheten regleras även i artikel 10 i EKMR. Den är applicerbar både på offentlig och privat sektor. Den gäller mot det allmänna och det medför att arbetstagare inom offentlig sektor har ett skydd. Artikel 10 medför även en positiv förpliktelse för staten, att säkerställa att yttrandefriheten gäller mellan enskilda. Detta innebär att den kan appliceras inom privat sektor. (Less)
