• Judge Forces Employer to Rehire Workers Who Vented on Facebook by Kashmir Hill http://www.forbes.com/sites/kashmirhill/2011/09/07/judge-forces-employer-to-rehire-workers-who-vented-on-facebook/
• The article discusses how five discontented employees took to Facebook to discuss their grievances and got fired by their boss, to later be rehired after a ruling by a judge who claimed that it is acceptable to discuss matters of employment amongst workers. 
• The stakeholders in the article would be the workers, employers, and facebookers.
• A social and ethical issues relating to the article would be privacy. 
• The area of impact is business and employment.
• I think that the employers should have been more wise in their decision to post questionable material online without considering the privacy settings.
