  23. Ethics of Peer Recovery Specialists Ethics in Social Media & Social Networking

  24. Social media ETHICS

  25. Social media ETHICS Common mistakes many users of social media make . . .

  26. SOCIAL MEDIA ETHICS Tweeting: “just left a client, boy is she messed up...” If you tag yourself right before or after the tweet, even without naming the client, someone could deduce the client by when you were near them and the timing of the tweet.

  27. SOCIAL MEDIA ETHICS Facebook. NEVER DISCUSS CLIENTS OR WORK ON YOUR PERSONAL ACCOUNT. Never even post or tag while you are on the clock. This sounds like common sense, but a lot of people do it anyway.

  28. SOCIAL MEDIA ETHICS Pictures taken on smartphones contain Exchangeable Image File Format (EXIF) info, which includes date/time and location. So, if you photograph a client in their home and send it to Instagram, Snap Chat, Vine, Tumblr, Friendster, or Pinterest, someone can obtain that information to see where the client lives.

  29. SOCIAL MEDIA ETHICS Be very careful of your friends and followers on social media. You could accidentally friend a client or relative of a client. Any mention of “a client” (not necessarily them or their family member) could be construed into you talking about that client or family member.

  30. SOCIAL MEDIA ETHICS THE INTERNET IS FOREVER. Once something is uploaded to a site on the Internet, it can be “captured” and cached by other websites (Google, Yahoo!, Twitter, and others) and can be accessed long after you deleted your original post. Imagine letting a jar of fireflies out one night and the next night trying to recapture them.

  31. SOCIAL MEDIA ETHICS Any comment made on the Internet will be taken out of context and twisted to hurt you. Count on it.

  32. SOCIAL MEDIA ETHICS Never use “Free Wi-Fi”. Someone on the same hotspot can “see” your username/password when you login to anywhere you go (email, social media, etc.) unless you are on an encrypted website. Once they have your username/ password, they can post “for” you.

  33. SOCIAL MEDIA ETHICS Always put a password on your home Wi-Fi, for the same reason. If I can sit outside your house and login to your open Wi-Fi, I can read things as you do them, and anything bad I do will trace back to you, not me.

  34. Ethics of Peer Recovery Specialists BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU POST

  35. Be careful what you post • “My car is smooth at 120 mph.” • “I’ve had your boss. He IS a jerk!” • “I’m starting to love my scar.”

  40. ipADING THE FACTS

  41. Ethics of Peer Recovery Specialists WEB 3.0

  42. WEB 3.0 • Web 1.0 - Point to point dropping off files and messages, bulletin board service circa 1985-2005 • Web 2.0 - Interactive web, cloud storage, free email accounts circa 2005-2011 • Web 3.0 – Intelligent anticipation, Netflix, Siri 2011-present.

  43. Web 3.0 defined Many experts believe the Web 3.0 browser will act as a personal assistant. As you search, the browser learns your interests. The more you use the Web, the more your browser learns about you and the less specific you’ll need to be with questions. Eventually you might be able to ask your browser open questions, like “where should I go for lunch?”

  44. BIG BROTHER IS WATCHED It’s been said “big brother is watching.” Now, we are all watching big brother & each other, armed with smart phones.
