Commenting Guidelines for UC Davis Social Channels

Commenting Guidelines for UC Davis Social Media Channels

We encourage comments that are consistent with the UC Davis Principles of Community. We discourage comments that are off-topic, use ethnic or racial slurs, hateful speech, personal attacks, and abusive language. Comments involving obscenity, libel, or spamming may be removed. Additionally, UC Davis reserves the right to block an account or remove a post that is noncompliant with UC Davis policies.

Putting the "social" in "social media" means that conversing on these platforms is a two-way conversation; however, when necessary, page administrators reserve the right to remove user-generated content or comments in accordance with these Guidelines for the safety and security of our audiences. UC Davis reserves the right to block an account or remove a post that violates UC Davis policies or commenting guidelines. 

Posts may be removed for any of the following reasons:

Comments may be turned off (and would remain off) on UC Davis social media posts for any of the following reasons:

For your own personal safety, please refrain from posting personally identifying information, as your comments are visible to the public.

Comments posted to UC Davis' social media channels from others do not represent the opinions of UC Davis. Communication made through social technology in no way constitutes a legal or official notice to the University of California, Davis, its agencies, faculty/academics, or staff. References to third-party content or websites do not indicate endorsement or responsibility on behalf of the University.

UC Davis abides by Discord, Facebook, Google, Instagram, LinkedIn, Reddit, TikTok and X (formerly known as Twitter) Terms and Conditions and asks you to do the same when participating in these communities.
