Social Media Rules and Etiquette

Twitter is the privileged social media platform where campaigning and other MPSP activities before the Sitting Days take place. All participants are encouraged to create a Twitter account and interact with other participants online from September to January.


Directives

  • Write "parody account" or a derivative phrase in your bio indicating that your account is for the University of Ottawa Model Parliament.

  • Do not interact with accounts not participating in MPSP.

  • Do not post about non-MPSP related subjects.

  • Reach out to the media team to create content and stories.

  • While you may attack opposing parties' platforms, it must be done in a civil manner.

  • Refrain from sending mean or threatening messages, or posting embarrassing photos that could affect one’s personal life outside the world of Model Parliament.

  • Do not spread real-life rumours or gossip about the personal lives of other members on MPSP Twitter.

  • Do not promote your personal accounts until the end of MPSP.

  • Inappropriate behaviour will result in penalties determined at the Committee’s discretion.
