You seem smart and knowledgeable. Maybe you should reach the lawyers at these companies and then they can change the policy!

[PKop]

No I think it's made up, there is no policy, and the lawyers couldn't care less, it's just something people do to massage their own ego.

[eklavya]

I can tell you firsthand, it's not made up. Wait, did I just brag in your opinion?

[habinero]

It is absolutely not made up, and yes, some companies absolutely do care.

[dlgeek]

Nope. I previously worked at a very big tech company (not Google) and they definitely had guidance like that in the social media policy.

[jamesfinlayson]

Government definitely does too.
