Photographs On Fb

Hi,

If I take a picture at work (preschool) and it isn't of the children and post it on fb dureing work time can work make me take it down?

We were prohibited from using any social networking sites from our work computers. You'd need to check your employers' policy on the use of social networks and publication of pictures taken on school premises.

If they are only going to make you take it down then you will be lucky!

Usually work places are very strict about using the computers for anything other than work, even screensavers were frowned on where I worked. I'm told it is possible to introduce a virus into their computer system by using unathorised sites etc.

As a photographer you need permission to display pictures taken inside someone's premises

But there weren't any of the children in them.

Does that make a difference?

It sounds like it does make a difference. Each employer is free to make their own decision and if yours says no to posting photos of work in work time then apologise and move on.

If you continue to argue against them they are likely to take it further.
