Content: prohibit the use of the employer’s logos or trademarks; discourage employees from “friending” co-workers; prohibit online discussion with government agencies concerning the company; and
prohibit employees from making statements that are detrimental, disparaging or defamatory to the employer or discussing workplace dissatisfaction.
