Comment policy

The official flagship Harvard social media channels are maintained by Harvard Public Affairs and Communications and aim to provide access to the people, places, events, news and research at our Institution. We ask that all visitors to Harvard’s digital spaces be civil and considerate to one another and to the site editors. Personal attacks, profanity, commercial solicitations, spam, misinformation, or other inappropriate contributions are grounds for comment removal. To prevent the spread of spam, malware, and potentially inappropriate content, comments including links will be removed, regardless of the URL. We ask that you stay on topic when contributing to a discussion and refrain from duplicate posts.

Hateful or discriminatory comments regarding race, ethnicity, religion, gender, disability, sexual orientation, or political beliefs will not be tolerated. The page administrators reserve the right to delete inappropriate or abusive comments and to permanently ban or block users from the Harvard social media accounts.
