Social media house rules
MLA uses social media in multiple ways. We share news and information with producers, engage in relevant industry discussion and raise awareness about Australian red meat by promoting upcoming events and sharing Australian beef, lamb and goatmeat cooking ideas.
We encourage users to participate in healthy and on-topic discussions on our social media channels and within our content comment threads. We encourage respectful, kind and courteous engagement and encourage diverse viewpoints; however we reserve the right to remove and/or report posts or comments that breach our house rules, including any containing:
- offensive or violent language
- hateful or discriminatory comments
- links or comments containing sexually explicit content material
- violations of copyright or intellectual property rights
- spam, link baiting or files containing viruses that could cause damage
- attacks on specific groups or any comments meant to harass, threaten or abuse an individual
- commercial solicitations or promotions
- trolling posts or deliberately disruptive conversations
- inaccurate or misleading statements about our organisation, its products and its people
- posts which incite off-topic discussion, including, but not limited to, political commentary
- promotion of activity in contravention of the law.
MLA may, at its discretion, block from our social media channels and websites any user who breaks these house rules. If you consider a user post to be violating these rules, please report it to us (see contact us options below).
Please note we will not censor or remove comments without reasonable justification.
Don't share your personal or confidential information
Please remember social media channels are public platforms and you should only share information you are happy for the general public to see. Please don't share your personal information such as your phone number, email address, health information or any other personal information. Please do not share confidential information. MLA will not be liable for any loss, costs, claims, damages and/or expenses arising from disclosure of confidential or private information posted on MLA social media.
