PERSONAL SOCIAL MEDIA USE
- ▪ Personal accounts must be clearly identifiable as personal.
- ▪ Avoid use of DoD titles, insignia, uniforms or symbols in a way that could imply DoD sanction or endorsement of the content
- ▪ It is recommended that Soldiers include a non-endorsement disclaimer when posting any content featuring official titles, insignia, uniforms, symbols or otherwise identifying themselves as service members
- ▪ It's acceptable to forward, link and share official information on personal accounts if it is not done in a way that implies official DoD endorsement.
OFFICIAL SOCIAL MEDIA USE
- ▪ Any content posted to an official Army social media account is official communication, regardless of the format. All official accounts must follow federal records management requirements.
- ▪ Official and personal accounts must be distinctly separate. A personal account cannot be converted to an official account, and an official account cannot be converted to a personal account
- ▪ A “verified” personal account on a social media platform does not constitute an official DoD account.
- ▪ It's acceptable to forward, link and share official information on personal accounts if it is not done in a way that implies official DoD endorsement.
