While using social media platforms like Twitter, Facebook, etc., we must separate our personal and personal lives. Even if we do or don’t agree with another person, the priority must be to protect the reputation of our organization.

Links or information shared on social media should be considered public information, regardless of privacy compliance. Lastly, writers must refrain from writing or sharing anything that could objectively offend someone’s personal life.
