GAA tweeters hit back over internet guidelines

THE GAA’s plan to issue guidelines to players and officials regarding the use of social networks became the subject of massive criticism yesterday on Twitter.

Mindful of the pitfalls presented by sports stars’ use of social media, GAA director of communications Lisa Clancy announced that the association is working on guidelines for tweets and posts to Facebook.

“Any social media that’s there; people have to realise once they publish on it, it’s for public knowledge,” she said.
