> Look, actively monitoring social media is weird but the general policy that what you say outside of work or school can affect you in work or school is a good thing. This kind of policy is necessary any time people don't have a choice of who they interact with.
As far as I can tell, there's no active monitoring of social media mentioned anywhere in the linked document that is used as a source.
- anticristi 5y agoI think the point is not monitoring social media. Rather the university want to hold you accountable for public statements, where social media without using an anonymous ID is essentially a public statement. I kind of empathise with GP. Bulling can and does happen off-campus and online, and has a detrimental effect on education. Unfortunately, I can also see how this can and will be used as a silencing tool. No clue where to draw the line. We will likely see the pendulum swing every decade between more free speech and more responsible speech. Currently the fear of detrimental effects due to fake news makes the pendulum swing towards more responsible speach.
