"You see Twitter disclaimers more and more these days. It’s a variation on the “the views are mine and not my employer”, or “opinions expressed here are mine and mine alone” theme.
Guess what?For the record, I do endorse this view. :-)
Those opinions may be yours and they may not reflect the opinions of your employer, but they reflect you."
Your boss isn't going to go look for a disclaimer before he fires you for publicly being an idiot and dragging down the company's brand. If you put your affiliation directly on your profile, then you are acting as a very public, full-time ambassador for that group -- whether it be your government employer, your university, or your burger joint. And everything you post could get associated with that group, no matter whether you "disclaim" it or not. That's all the motivation some employers will need to give you the axe, or maybe even not hire you if they trawl your past posts.
A while back, after someone I know got in a little row with some folks over a couple insensitive posts, they retorted "I don't know what the big deal is, it's just Twitter." Tell that to its billionaire owners, countless news media outlets, or to the Library of Congress.
