Welcome to our social media channels!

We are delighted that our posts and topics encourage our users to engage in discussion.

To ensure that all participants can express themselves freely, it is important that posts remain constructive and factual, even in the event of differences of opinion.

We look forward to an enriching exchange and are very interested in your constructive registering for the following semester. Nevertheless, we must insist on the following discussion rules. We reserve the right to remove individual posts in the event of violations and to exclude users from our channels in the event of serious or repeating violations.

These are our rules:

1. Our tone is objective, polite and respectful.
2. We do not allow ourselves to be challenged: Insults, abuse and provocation on our part will not take place.
3. We will delete without comment any posts that are discriminatory, anti-constitutional, demagogic, illegal, pornographic, extremist, racist, vulgar, disparaging or inappropriate in any other
   way. Since the efficacy of the 2021 Act on Combating Right-Wing Extremism and Hate Crime, we as site operators are obliged to report certain serious cases, e.g. threats of dangerous bodily harm or the approval of crimes that have not yet been committed, to the competent authorities.
4. We delete advertising, spam and commercial content from third parties without comment.
   Comments on a post, tweet, etc. should always relate to the content of the post. Off-topic contributions are undesirable.
5. We pay attention to data protection: Confidential content such as addresses, telephone numbers, student ID numbers are not published on our social media presence at any time.
6. The publication of private correspondence (e.g. letters or emails) is also not permitted.
7. We observe the general standards and terms of use of the respective social media site.
8. As employees of the university, we provide information about the social media presence to the best of our knowledge and belief, but this is not legally binding.
9. When we act as employees of our university in the social media, we are required to be loyal to our employer.
10. When publishing images and texts via our social media presence, we pay particular attention to compliance with copyright and personal rights and the right to one's own image. We expect the same from our users.
