The
following describes the Social Media Disclosure for our MyRealHealth.Com
website.
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 MyRealHealth division of BowMac Inc 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 MyRealHealth.Com website.
Presence/Scope
of Social Media
You should assume that social media is in use on our MyRealHealth division of BowMac Inc 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 MyRealHealth.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 MyRealHealth division of BowMac Inc 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 MyREalHealth.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 MyRealHealth division of BowMac Inc 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 MyRealHealth.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.
