I know a few people who have got themselves in the deep dodo at work for things they posted on facebook. Often things about other work colleagues, insulting management or the company etc. Its a bit like the modern equivalent of doing something stupid at the staff Christmas party and getting sacked the day after for it.
Most large companies have staff who read local/national press and now websites looking for things that could affect the good name of the company. The Council is again a bit different as your image does not really affect your ability to do your business.
If I worked for a bread manuafacturer for example and posted on my facebook status about the flour stores being full of rats I could seriously affect my company if it was picked up by the newspapers.
Most companies have rules about doing things out of work that may have a negative impact on work. Not sure what I think about Councillors because you are not really employed by the Council as such and many Councillors appear to think the way forward is by insulting the opposition at every possible occasion.
