Swissmem on social media
Social media have become a virtually indispensable part of our everyday life. They are steadily gaining in importance. In many thematic areas, social media are part and parcel of Swissmem's communications work. Swissmem therefore welcomes the use and deployment of social media.
Swissmem expects users to:
- keep comments respectful, open and courteous;
- show tolerance for different views;
- make constructive and stimulating contributions.
Swissmem will not tolerate any texts, images, videos or actions which
- are offensive, obscene, pornographic, threatening, inciting to violence, discriminatory, racist, abusive, disparaging to third parties, misleading or illegal;
- violate the rights of third parties (including copyrights and personal rights);
- contain direct or indirect advertising for third-party products;
- imply unverifiable insinuations and (personal) suspicions.
Social media are not a legal vacuum. Please therefore bear in mind that use of social media is always associated with legal requirements such as data protection law, copyright law, personal rights, competition law, trademark law, etc.
You should not disseminate any photos or videos created by others without obtaining their consent or providing a clear indication of copyrights (source citation). Do not copy posts made by others and pass yourself off as the author. Rather, make sure that the original author is mentioned.
Swissmem reserves the right to delete content which violates these rules and to ban repeat offenders.
