Abstract: The defence of freedom of expression of employees covers important both that freedom is part of fundamental rights, including on the Internet. However, new issues are raised when considering freedom of expression of employees through digital social networks inside and outside the company. Indeed, the freedom of expression of employees can understand phrases leading to damage to the company in terms of image and reputation of the company. Practice informs us about the difficulties of balancing respect for freedom of expression, that of loyalty between employers and employees and the protection of e-reputation of the company. The increasingly blurred border between working life and private life, and that between public and personal life makes this difficult balance that companies are moving towards the development of charters and guides for the use of online social networks.
