Deloitte’s New Social Media Policy Prohibits Employees From ‘Illegal Speech’ In Private Conversations

One of the world’s largest accounting and consulting firms implemented a new social media policy that will prohibit employees from using “illegal” speech, even in private online conversation. 

In April, Deloitte unveiled new guidelines for what constitutes an acceptable social media presence for employees. According to the guidelines, employees cannot “condone, engage, or assist in illegal conduct or speech” regardless of whether they are “acting in a business or personal capacity on social media.”
