Social Media, Free Speech, Ethics, and Company Policies

Thursday, Mar. 18, 2021 | Virtual

Most Americans enjoy posting content about their personal lives, as well as their political attitudes, on social media. Many companies have social media policies for employees. If you violate these policies, you could be terminated. Is that fair?

During this conversation, we looked at the ethical and legal issues that are raised by social media posts. Attendees considered prominent celebrity firings, as well as less publicized examples, and discussed the rights and responsibilities of individuals and their employers. For further reading on this topic, the presenters provided the following helpful articles: 

  • The Modern Workplace: Tips for Creating An Employee Social Media Policy                    
  • What Employers Should Consider When Drafting A Social Media Policy

Accessibility: SNHU is committed to creating an inclusive and accessible environment. Click here to learn more about our accessibility policy and accommodation requests.
