Some employers frown on employees participating in social media. Initially, I felt this was violating my rights, but did abide by the rule.
A year ago our son in law (IT state employee) received a phone call from a local TV station, while at work, asking what he thought of his "friends" recent arrest for sexual abuse of a child. He asked who this "friend" was and no, he had no idea there was an arrest, and what were they talking about. Apparently, he met this individual in collage, many years ago, and they both played sports. Beyond that casual meeting, he hadn't kept in touch, but was on the individuals friend list.
I had a better understanding after this incident what another individual does can reflect on me, when they may be only a "friend".
