The federal government has decided to act against employees promoting anti-government narratives on social media. Officials have made a policy decision to enforce Civil Servants Conduct Rules against violators.
According to reports, authorities have started monitoring employees’ personal social media accounts. The monitoring aims to identify violations involving online activity and conduct.
New Rules Expand Social Media Oversight
The government has decided to strictly implement the Civil Servants Conduct Rules 2026. The revised rules reportedly bring employees’ personal social media accounts under official scrutiny.
Employees promoting anti-government activities or narratives could face disciplinary action. Authorities will also target officials using fake accounts or anonymous posts against government institutions.
The move reflects growing official concern over social media activity among government employees. Meanwhile, authorities have emphasized compliance with existing conduct requirements.
Officials Face Restrictions On Online Activity
Under the reported rules, officials cannot use personal accounts to promote government work. Similarly, employees cannot use official accounts for personal publicity or self-promotion.
The restrictions aim to separate official responsibilities from personal online activity. Authorities also want employees to avoid content that could damage government institutions.
The government’s decision could significantly change how civil servants use social media platforms. However, officials will likely face closer scrutiny as enforcement expands.
The new policy signals a stricter approach toward online conduct across the government. Employees violating the rules could now face formal disciplinary proceedings.
