BridgeClimb Social Media Moderation Policy

05/12/2022

BridgeClimb Sydney maintains an active presence on multiple social media channels to celebrate our Bridge and city, share updates on BridgeClimb and to provide a platform to communicate with our guests.

All social media conversations, posts, comments and photos should be respectful and constructive at all times. BridgeClimb has strict moderation guidelines on defamation, discrimination and intimidation. We will take a strong stance on moderating and deleting content which is irrelevant, discriminatory, defamatory, threatening and actions which may offend, insult, humiliate or intimidate.

In the instance where BridgeClimb deems posts, comments or other material to be inappropriate, BridgeClimb will remove those posts, comments or other material. In addition, users may be blocked from further activity on official BridgeClimb social media platforms and in extreme cases may be the subject of further investigation.
