CAA reminded its staff about its common sense social media policy.
The agency held an all-hands meeting this afternoon and one of the topics that came up related to agents and others posting on services and apps such as Instagram and X, formerly known as Twitter.
The short of it? Use good judgement.
Social media has once again come into focus with the situation in Israel and Palestine. On one hand, it has been a useful tool to share information, but on the other some of that information is not always correct. Posting and commenting on social media, particularly in turbulent times, can also lead to harassment.
Sources at CAA told Deadline that today’s meeting was about reinforcing these points and making sure that agents and others represent themselves and the company well on the web. There was no PowerPoint presentation about the company’s social media policy, we were told.
However, it does come after the situation regarding Maha Dakhil, the co-head of motion pictures, who resigned from the agency’s internal board and temporarily stepped away from the day-to-day leadership after reposting an Instagram story last week that said, “You’re currently learning who supports genocide.”
We were told Dakhil was not directly referenced in the meeting at the Bryan Lourd, Kevin Huvane and Richard Lovett-led agency.
