Social Media Policy
'Social media' is the term commonly given to web-based tools which allow users to interact with each other in some way - by sharing information, opinions, knowledge and interests.
Current examples include, blogs, vlogs, message boards, websites (for example Shooting-The-Breeze), social networking sites (such as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn), content sharing websites (such as Instagram, Snapchat and YouTube), and group & direct chat methods (for example WhatsApp, iMessage).
