The following describes the Social Media Disclosure for our website: http://www.robustbranding.com

Social Media Issues

In today’s digital age, individuals have become increasingly willing to share their personal lives with the world through social media and other online platforms. However, with this unprecedented level of voluntary disclosure comes a range of privacy concerns and potential dangers that are only beginning to surface.

Social media companies are being sued for unauthorized or abusive use of personal information, and lawsuits are being filed seeking damages for statements that have been held responsible for individuals’ deaths or suicides. Bloggers who presume to operate under the guise of freedom of speech or press freedom are losing civil cases for defamation, slander, and libel.

As social media continues to rapidly advance and facilitate even easier distribution of information, the risks associated with unrestrained public disclosure of private and sensitive information are mounting. Therefore, it is crucial to adopt a more thoughtful approach to social media use, weighing its benefits against the perils of imprudent disclosure.

The key to a fulfilling online experience is to exercise discretion and caution while using social media. Users should be aware of the potential consequences of their posts and be mindful of the personal information they share. Protecting one’s privacy is essential, and it is important to understand the privacy policies of the platforms one uses.

In conclusion, while social media has its benefits, we must be aware of the risks and adopt a more thoughtful approach to our use of these platforms. At Growstats, we are committed to protecting our users’ privacy and providing a safe and enjoyable online experience. We encourage our users to exercise discretion and caution when sharing personal information online to avoid the potential consequences of excessive disclosure.

Presence/Scope of Social Media

You should assume that social media is in use on our Growstats website. A simple click of a button to endorse a product, person, or service is building a cumulative profile about you, which you should always assume can be discovered by others anytime online.

Attempting to share a website with someone, whether by direct press of a button or else by forwarding an email 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 can could be seen by a veritable infinite number of people at any time online. Such a domino effect could be initiated right here on our http://www.robustbranding.com website.

Something as simple or basic as a blog comment can provide the opportunity for a knee-jerk reaction 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 website Growstatsat one time or another.

These are a few examples that 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 here is to realize the reach of social media, and its widespread presence on websites in various forms (including this website), and develop a responsible approach to using it.

Protecting Others and Yourself

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 and this could include you.

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 and not others. If in doubt, it’s best to err on the side of non-disclosure and don’t make or post comments that could reflect on you.

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 http://www.robustbranding.com website (or another).

Protecting Yourself

You should likewise pause to consider the long-term effects of a split-second decision by yourself to publicly share private information about yourself on our Growstats website. Opinions, likes, dislikes, preferences, and otherwise can change at any point in time. Openly divulging perspectives that you hold today, may conflict with your developing views in the future. 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 and you should, therefore, tread cautiously when considering sharing anything publicly online.

As with sharing information about other people, extreme caution should be used and taken 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 of your choices. 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 the Use of Social Media Data

You, as a visitor to our http://www.robustbranding.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 in any form. Any use of social media or related platforms on our website is 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 can and 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 or other peoples’ reputations. 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. You 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.
