Social Media Disclosure
The following describes the Social Media Disclosure for www.neoklix.com
Social Media Issue
We live in an interesting time when privacy rights are championed
alongside an unprecedented voluntary willingness of people to share
their most intimate and superfluous life details with the world, even
in places such as our neoklix.com website. While apparently benign on
the surface, the dangers of unrestrained public disclosure of sensitive
information is beginning to surface.
Key social media players are being sued for unauthorized or abusive
use/misuse of personal information. Failure to protect and warn are
likely going to be focal factors. Lawsuits are filed seeking damages
for statements held to be responsible for people's death or suicide.
Bloggers presuming to operate under an unfettered freedom of speech or
greater latitude offered to members of the press are losing civil cases
for defamation, slander, libel, and so on.
As social media rapidly advances to allow more technologically
sophisticated and easy dissemination, the simultaneous fallout of
revelation without boundaries is mounting. Thus, a sober approach to
the benefits of social media, while sidestepping the perils of
imprudent disclosure, can facilitate an enjoyable online experience,
without the consequences of excess, in settings such as our own
www.neoklix.com website.
Presence/Scope of Social Media
You should assume that social media is in use on our neoklix.com
website. A simple click of a button to endorse a person, product, or
service is building a cumulative profile about you, which you should
always assume can be discovered by others. Attempting to share a
website with someone, whether by direct press of a button or else by
email forwarding facilitated on a website, you should assume that this
may not stop with the intended recipient, and that this can generate
information about you that could be seen by a veritable infinite number
of people. Such a domino effect could initiate right here on our
www.neoklix.com website.
Something as simple as a blog comment provides the opportunity for
knee-jerk reactions that can become public and may not truly represent
a position (at least in strength or severity) that you might hold after
a period of more reasoned contemplation. You should also note that the
ease of accessing one site through the login credentials of another, or
the use of a global login for access to multiple sites can accumulate a
dossier on you and your online behavior that may reveal more
information to unintended parties than you might realize or want. Any
or all of these features could exist on our neoklix.com website at one
time or another.
These few examples illustrate some possible ways that social media can
exist, though it is not an exhaustive list and new technologies will
render this list outdated quickly. The objective is to realize the
reach of social media, its widespread presence on websites in various
forms (including this website), and develop a responsible approach to
using it.
Protecting Others
You should recognize the fact that divulgences made in and on social
media platforms on this website and others are rarely constrained just
to you. Disclosures are commonly made about group matters that
necessarily affect and impact other people. Other disclosures are
expressly about third parties, sometimes with little discretion. What
can appear funny in one moment can be tragic in the next. And a subtle
"public" retaliation can have lifetime repercussions.
Ideal use of social media on our website would confine your disclosures
primarily to matters pertaining to you, not others. If in doubt, it's
best to err on the side of non-disclosure. It's doubtful the disclosure
is so meaningful that it cannot be offset by the precaution of acting
to protect the best interests of someone who is involuntarily being
exposed by your decision to disclose something on our www.neoklix.com
website (or another).
Protecting Yourself
You should likewise pause to consider the long-term effects of a
split-second decision to publicly share private information about
yourself on our neoklix.com website. Opinions, likes, dislikes,
preferences, and otherwise can change. Openly divulging perspectives
that you hold today, may conflict with your developing views into the
futures. Yet, the "new you" will always stand juxtaposed against the
prior declarations you made that are now concretized as part of your
public profile. While the contents of your breakfast may hold little
long-term impact, other data likewise readily shared can have
consequences that could conceivably impact your ability to obtain
certain employment or hinder other life experiences and ambitions.
As with sharing information about other people, extreme caution should
be used before revealing information about yourself. If in doubt, it's
likely best not to do it. The short term gain, if any, could readily be
outweighed by later consequences. Finally, you should note that we are
not responsible for removing content once shared, and we may not be
able to do so.
Restrictions on Use of Social Media Data
You, as a visitor to our www.neoklix.com website, are not permitted to
"mine" social media or other platforms contained herein for personal
information related to others. Even where people have publicly
displayed data, you should not construe that as though you have the
liberty to capture, reproduce, or reuse that information. Any use of
social media or related platforms on our website are for interactive
use only, relevant only during the website visit.
Accuracy of Social Media Data
As any social media platform is built on user-generated content, you
should consider this fact in seeking to determine the authenticity of
anything you read. We are not responsible for verifying any
user-generated content for accuracy. A best practices policy would be
to view all such content as strictly opinion, not fact.
Potential Issues of Liability
You should also be mindful of the fact that your words could trigger
liability for harm caused to others. While you have the right to free
speech, you do not have the right to damage other people. Under basic
principles of tort law, you are always responsible, personally, for
situations where either:
1. you were required to act, but did not (i.e. – some "duty of care")
2. your were required to refrain from acting, but did not (i.e. – slander, defamation, etc.)
These "sins of omission and commission" could cause problems for you,
irrespective of whether you assert you are conducting business under
the guise of one or more business entities. Illegal and unethical
conduct, when done in the name of a corporation or LLC, is still
illegal and unethical conduct. As it is rarely part of a business plan
to engage in illegal and unethical conduct, you are doubtfully
operating in any official capacity, but rather, perhaps, leveraging
that capacity to effectuate personal wrongdoing. You should consult a
licensed attorney if you wish legal advice as to the (potential)
ramification of your situation or legal problems stemming from this
website or another.
