COMMUNICATING VIA SOCIAL NETWORKS
Controlling communication via social networks consists in controlling contacts allowed for communication and message
logs. You can create lists of allowed and blocked contacts, specify key words (see section "Key words search" on
page 160) that all incoming messages will be checked for, and enter private data (see section "Sending confidential
information" on page 160) that are prohibited to be sent.
If communication with a contact is blocked, all messages addressed to this contact or received from it will be filtered out.
Information about blocked messages and key words encountered in them is displayed in a report. In the full report you
can see messaging history for each contact.
Some social networks, such as Twitter, use the encrypted connections. To scan the traffic generated by those networks,
you should enable the scan of encrypted connections (see page 133).
The current version of Web Policy Management ensures control over instant messaging in the following social networks:
Facebook;
Twitter;
MySpace.
To restrict contacts available for communication via social networks:

Configure policies button.
