NACC Announces New Social Media Guidelines for Staff to Protect Organizational Integrity

Key summary

The National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) has issued new guidelines effective October 25, 2026, governing how its staff use social media. The rules, published in the Royal Gazette on October 22, 2026, require officials to exercise caution, maintain politeness, and adhere to ethical standards while online. Staff are prohibited from posting content that is offensive, discriminatory, or hateful; engaging in political activities that compromise neutrality; damaging the reputation of national institutions, religion, or the monarchy; leaking confidential government information; wearing official uniforms or displaying NACC insignia in an unbecoming manner; or allowing family members or others to use their position for commercial gain. The guidelines also establish a supervision framework where appointing authorities must oversee compliance. Violations will be investigated by those with authority: cases without merit will be closed, while confirmed breaches of ethics or discipline will follow relevant procedures, and criminal offenses will be handled according to the law. The NACC retains the right to take legal action if actions cause damage to the organization. Interpretation disputes regarding the guidelines fall under the jurisdiction of the NACC Commission as the central personnel administration body.
