This is a violation of the stored Communications Act.

Explanation:

The Stored Communications Act (SCA), protects the rights of people and organizations from its participants to leak any information. This act works on the principle of the rights to be secure and protected.

As Sonya and other employees were using social media to chat about the company, the info was not being held private and came under the violation of the stored communication act. As a result, Sonya and other participants were fired.
