Content: You can reference these policies in your social media policies, taking special note of any differences in application that may be necessary with social media. For example, your cell phone usage policy may not currently discuss the use of photos from cell phone cameras. Thanks to geotagging, photos taken by cell phones almost universally contain digital coding which betrays your exact location on the date and time of the photo. If you upload a photo taken by a cell phone camera to your social media sites, you might be giving away more information than necessary. A social media policy might take this into consideration by requiring staff to use software to strip the photos of geotagging information before the photos may be posted. Many of your existing policies are applicable to social media. Image source: iStockPhoto. #6: Include External Regulations
