Page 12: Net503 Policy Primer

…even the personal ones, like DM’s, that you thought were private.

Page 13: Net503 Policy Primer

not permitted.

Page 15: Net503 Policy Primer

You mustn’t use your Twitter account to impersonate with the

intent to mislead or deceive(no matter how cute you may

think this is).

http://www.flickr.com/photos/bmente/2593478599/in/photostream/

Page 16: Net503 Policy Primer

Even so, you may

come across

content that is

inappropriate…

http://www.flickr.com/photos/jdawg/484678361/

Page 17: Net503 Policy Primer

Even so, you may

come across

content that is

inappropriate…

http://www.flickr.com/photos/jdawg/484678361/

…harmful or offensive…

Page 18: Net503 Policy Primer

Even so, you may

come across

content that is

inappropriate…

http://www.flickr.com/photos/jdawg/484678361/

…harmful or offensive…

…deceptive

or inaccurate.

Page 19: Net503 Policy Primer

Twitter takes

no responsibility for

this exposure.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/halcyon/4117996554/in/photostream/

Page 20: Net503 Policy Primer

Twitter can do what they like with your content, including

making it available to third parties.

Page 21: Net503 Policy Primer

Who collect data about you, your personal information…

for marketing, and research…

http://www.flickr.com/photos/star-dust/709945164/

Page 22: Net503 Policy Primer

every time you access Twitter’s platform your

data is collected.

‘As a way to improve the

Service’

http://www.flickr.com/photos/pinkpoppyimages/5886243344/

And all of this is royalty free,

without compensation

You get

nothing

Page 24: Net503 Policy Primer

Yet Twitter makes it clear that

the users own the content

Page 25: Net503 Policy Primer

You are responsible for your content

http://www.flickr.com/photos/jliba/3496259672/

Page 26: Net503 Policy Primer

Content you post on Twitter must respect copyright

http://www.flickr.com/photos/mikeblogs/3020966666/

Page 27: Net503 Policy Primer

Third parties may

rebroadcast your content

http://www.flickr.com/photos/timo_w2s/301276657/

Page 28: Net503 Policy Primer

http://www.flickr.com/photos/walkadog/3353936487/sizes/z/in/photostream/

So if you don’t own the rights to the content

Page 29: Net503 Policy Primer

You will be liable!

http://www.flickr.com/photos/gsgeorge/3483842841/in/photostream/

Page 30: Net503 Policy Primer

http://www.flickr.com/photos/duncanh1/4271266899/

And your account could be

terminated

So while it’s ok to have fun on Twitter

and make use of parody and

pseudonyms,

http://www.flickr.com/photos/trushu/524504628/

Page 33: Net503 Policy Primer

remember your information can

be seen, you can be

identified.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/igorbrasil/4560541661/

Page 34: Net503 Policy Primer

People and companies

may not like what you have

to say

http://www.flickr.com/photos/clover_1/3440080595/

Page 35: Net503 Policy Primer

and could use your personal

information against you.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/ores2k/435302834/

Page 36: Net503 Policy Primer

Think about

what and how you Tweet

http://www.flickr.com/photos/peanutlen/2383411376/

Page 37: Net503 Policy Primer

because the rest of the

world can view them

instantly…
