I think that they do class forums such as this as social networks. however how I understand the document it refers to divulging information that you received because you are councillor and which is privileged. It also deals with not naming people etc.

A lot of the report deals with use of HBC IT equipment and their email system, some councillors have laptops, printers and internet connection provided by HBC, whilst others (myself and Bernard included) get a monthly allowance (which is a taxable) to cover use of their own equipment. It is pretty standard for companies to have a policy regarding what employees can use the companies computer system for.

Neil - if you read my link I would be interested to see what you think of the report.

The thing that concerns me is that they may be trying to censor how I interact on Facebook - which certainly has nothing to do with my role as a councillor. I do have lots of links to Labour Party and Union info but this is in a private capacity.
