DefinitionA social media policy (ソーシャルメディアポリシー) is a policy that sets out the guidelines and rules an organization and its members follow when using social media.
ExplanationIts aims include preventing information leaks, defamation of others and online backlash caused by misleading posts. Besides serving as an internal rule, it is sometimes published as a document showing how the organization approaches social media.
AnalogyIt is like a handbook of dos and don'ts for social media that a company hands out to staff. Deciding in advance what can and cannot be posted prevents trouble from careless posts.
