Are we doing enough to protect our online reputations, especially as musicians

[DeeofSurrey]

I was having a conversation with someone in music recently, and it got me thinking about how artists and their teams manage reputational risk online.

In today’s climate, one tweet, lyric snippet, or old post can resurface and spark backlash, sometimes enough to damage a career or cancel opportunities. It’s wild how fast it can happen, even for well-established names.

As people working in and around music, whether you’re an artist, manager, A&R, or label exec, are we doing enough to protect our reputations online?

Do you have any kind of process or system in place before something goes live? Or is it more reactive than proactive?

I have a potential solution. However, I'm curious how others in music are navigating this.

You mean like Smokey Fucking Robinson???

My personal reputation is not salvageable.

Brah, I don't think there's too many rock stars @ USMB.
There is one I know of..but I ain't tellin' you, bitch!

I got a few rock stars on Twitter. They don't give a fuck. One is Ted Nugent, so...

Because of the rights that we all have, no one is safe from being cancelled and it can happen for any reason including reasons that we may never even think of before they are under the microscope.

God bless you always!!!
