The BBC’s guidelines for tweets coming from its senior staff need an aggressive overhaulhttps://twitter.com/bbclaurak/status/1203940035210428417 …

The number of people from the BBC past + present I've had in my DMs since the start of this election (like 50+ now) is astonishing. So many people painstakingly follow the rules and have been penalised for far less. Why are the most senior people not held to the same standard?

Kinda answered your own question to be honest. Because they know they're not accountable to anyone that counts.

Yep. If you're famous or in a powerful position you seem to get away with almost anything.

Sorry, how do you mean? You’ve had DMs from more junior BBC people exasperated at the social media rules breaches by their senior colleagues?

Something I’ve been wondering is if to some extent it’s a generational thing? There seems to be a mindset amongst some that sees twitter almost like a notebook rather than an output in and of itself

Never thought of it like that but this seems pretty plausible?

I guess once you start, where do you stop? If they start to penalise senior people for things like this, they'd have to explain why they've let so many similar things go in the past. So easier for them to ignore it.
