DTSSAB Social Media Terms of Use

The District of Timiskaming Social Services Administration Board (DTSSAB) uses social media accounts as an alternative method of interacting with the members of the public and of sharing the content posted on its website, facilitating access to DTSSAB information and services, and providing stakeholders with an opportunity to interact in an informative and respectful environment. 

The DTSSAB accepts no responsibility for social media platforms becoming unresponsive or unavailable.

Links to other websites and ads

Social media accounts may post or display links or ads for websites that are not under the control of the DTSSAB. The DTSSAB is not responsible for the information found through these links or ads; neither does it endorse the sites or their content.

Following, ‘liking’ and subscribing

The DTSSAB’s decision to follow, ‘like’ or subscribe to another social media account does not imply an endorsement of that account, channel, page or site, and either does sharing (re-tweeting, reposting or linking to) content from another user.
