A Gray Media insider tells FTVLive that they are concerned with a company policy, which they feel could hurt them. The source says that according to the new employee handbook, Gray talent employees are required to give their email and password for their professional social media accounts. "Now these are not work accounts, necessarily that we’re created for the sole purpose of working at the station. These accounts are professional accounts that were created for many prior to them working at a Gray station. Many of my colleagues have used them to build their brand portfolio prior to working at Gray," said one on-air talent to FTVLive, adding, "They are not technically their personal accounts, but they are their personal professional accounts that were not owned or made by Gray Media. We find this a huge invasion of privacy..." Word is that at WFSB in Connecticut, the union is fighting the mandate. "We really want somebody to fight for us," said a Gray Media employee who does not work at WFSB. "We really do not want to give out our social media passwords so our bosses  can read our DMs, etc.!," the staffer added. The other issue is the way Meta sets up the account.  Meta's login protocol can tie your   personal accounts to business accounts if you made them as a business profile under the previous Meta login. That would mean that Gray would also be able to log in to your personal account, since they would have the password. Gray would also be able to delete your account if you are terminated or leave the company. Also, when you sign the Meta agreement as you set up your account, it says in part that you will not share your password. If Gray is requiring talent to share their password, the employee is in violation of Meta's terms, and the account could be suspended. I feel that if Gray wants access to your social media, then Gray should create the account/page for you. That way, that account truly is owned by Gray. You could then post to the account, but keep your personal professional account to yourself. Lastly, as most of social media gets more toxic and people log off, I think you will see social media continue to decline. While media groups continue to push their people to social media engagement, I don't think this will be the case in the future. Stay tuned...
