Code of Conduct for Social Media
Feel free to visit the National Library of Scotland’s social media platforms on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, or the exhibition’s event page and Twitter page. Feel free to comment when you’re there, and please help us keep discussions on a serious and inclusive level by following the rules below.
The following is not permitted:
-
- foul language
- commercial messages, spam or misleading information
- threats, harassment, personal attacks or defamation
- links to the above-stated materials
- pretending to be someone you are not, for example, by using someone else’s name, or assuming several identities in a discussion.
We will remove posts that contain inciteful language, hate speech, child pornography, depictions of violence, or copyright-infringing material. For our purposes, hate speech means threatening or insulting a group of people on the basis of race, skin colour, national or ethnic origin, faith or sexual orientation.
Links may be used to provide additional information or source references to posts, but other visitors should not need to follow the link to understand what the post is about. In other words, pure link posting is not permitted.
Comments that violate any of these rules may be deleted. Commenters who continuously violate these rules may be blocked.
