The policy has a few "don't be a d*ck" clauses, but that's the norm today.
Times are a-changing.
At my employer, at&t, they encourage us to post on social media but we’re required to put “at&t employee and opinions are my own” on all of our social media sites. Aside from that there isn’t much we can’t post. Any promotions or advertisements we post have to be shared from the at&t Facebook or Twitter site, and we can’t post anything from Apple.
