Pinterest is one of the fastest growing social media sites. Pinterest enables users
to “pin” interesting things to a virtual pinboard to share with others. A pinboard is largely a collection of images organized by topic (home decorating, wedding planning, etc.).
A recent article calls into question the potential risks that users face by “pinning” third party content. As pointed out in the article:
