    But they are taking about monitoring public facing social media - frankly I think it would be daft if they did not do this.
    If a be teaching assistant starts publicly posting harmful harmful content there should indeed be systems on place to ensure this is identified and appropriate action taken.
    If you post publicly you have to assume everybody, including your employer, might see it.

      You definitely have a point with the public facing posts. However, I will disagree with you on two points.

      1. “Harmful content” does not seem to apply here as the article implies that specifically posts criticizing government policies were flagged.
      2. Even so, harmful content could just as well be classified through existing procedures such as members of the public filing complaints rather than simply “keeping score”.

      It’s a bit different when your employer is the government as they should be held to a higher standard.
