|Updated:

Ottawa has issued a guidance document informing public servants they may face scrutiny if they post content on social media that it deems partisan, disrespectful, or critical of government policies—even when shared from anonymous personal accounts.

The document seeks to provide “guidance for public servants on their personal use of social media.”
