Hunger Free World (HFW), has established and will adhere to this guideline for the use of its official social media accounts and the use of social media by the individuals related to HFW.
Backgrounds
Social media such as Twitter, Facebook, and blogs have been widely spread in recent years. HFW actively utilizes them as a tool to enhance the exchange of information among the people and the organizations that are interested in global hunger and food issues, which we believe would ultimately lead to eliminating hunger from the world.
On the other hand, information posted on the Internet can be seen by the many and unspecified, and may have unexpected consequences on individuals and the society. HFW is fully aware of this possibility and has developed a guideline to promote observation of the law, HFW’s regulations and policies, as well as respect for various social norms when using social media.
Policy on the use of HFW’s official social media accounts
- In principle, HFW’s official account is used only by the HFW’s staff in charge.
- HFW’s official views and announcements shall be delivered thorough its official website and press releases. Information posted on social media does not necessarily represent HFW’s official views and announcements.
- HFW actively encourages the individuals and the groups related to HFW to post remarks on HFW activities on their own social media accounts. However, information they post at their own account does not represent HFW’s official views and announcements.
- HFW aims to promote two-way communication through the use of social media; therefore it welcomes comments and questions as well as participation in conversations addressed to its official accounts.
