Allowing your employees to have personal Twitter accounts has got to be a bad business decision?

This is why most companies have social media policies under which you can be terminated for violating. Especially if you tarnish the reputation of the company because of personal association and commentary.

Iβm not saying itβs right, but businesses should have a right to protect themselves from the public image disasters of their employees

Yeah, ideally all employees are locked in a bunker and prohibited from contacting the outside world for the duration of their employment.

Thatβs not what Iβm saying so thanks for twisting my words. Iβm saying as a company you have every right to hold employees accountable for their actions even on their personal twitter.

Sure. Question is where do you draw the line. Do you have an example of a policy that you think works well and strikes the right balance?

Back in the day when I worked for banks, you would just get fired for Hedlβs behavior. Simple heβs on Twitter and itβs not clear if his views are his own or represent Krakens. On the one hand you have him going off an anyone whoβs not a Bitcoin maximalist.

Unless he says he's speaking for Kraken, assume his statements to be his own. Probably a safe assumption for everybody on the Internet, actually. I haven't seen any recent examples of "going off" on anyone who isn't a bitcoin maximalist.

Pretty clear from this heβs representing Kraken

What indicates to you that he's tweeting official statements from Kraken? His bio states who his employer is but I don't see anything that would imply that he is not tweeting in an individual, personal capacity.
It doesnβt really matter if theyβre official. They damage your brand regardless.

Itβs pretty clear who the CEO is
