A social media squabble can complicate your case. You and your attorney may have extra trips to court to hash out whether you have to produce social media records for the other side. On the one hand, courts have ruled that there’s no social media privilege. You can’t get out of producing relevant social media records by setting your status to friends only or private.
However, the key to social media discovery is showing relevancy. Nevada discovery rules don’t allow parties to demand large amounts of records in the hopes that they’ll find something helpful for the case. That’s called a fishing expedition. These conflicting legal priorities can result in a court battle that makes your case more complicated and stressful.
