Some of you may have herd about the FDNY EMS Lieutenant, who turned out to be a Nazi. He recently got busted for openly posting racist things and violating FDNY policy on his twitter account. He no longer works for FDNY EMS as a result. However, every year I see more and more EMS folks in the news, being disciplined, fired, or stepping down, all as a result of social media and posting work related things on the internet, or indentifying themselves as EMS providers with XYZ agency and getting fired.
below is a recent article with some of the latest.

In your opinion, is it ok for EMS folks to have a blog or social media outlet about there job? If so, what are the limitations? Other than HIPPA where does an EMS provider cross the line between his/her freedoms and violating policy?
