Social networking sites include such communication channels as Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter. Mr. Ketchum stated that FINRA's efforts to address these challenges include the creation of a Social Networking Task Force, consisting of industry participants, that will "explore how regulation can embrace technological advancements in ways that improve the flow of information between firms and their customers-without compromising investor protection."
