to have told DH to remove this from his twitter feed?

[FishWithABicycle]

DH is pissed off with me. I looked at his twitters earlier and saw that he had posted a tweet referencing genitalia in a way I thought was inappropriate (it was about accidentally taking a photograph if one multitasks simultaneous texting and urinating - yeah gross I know)

I said he should delete it because (a) it's gross and (b) there is reason to suspect that random non-friend strangers may soon be seeking out his twitter feed because a recent good thing in his creative career means that more people will have heard of him soon - not like he's famous or anything but just getting slightly more well known in his field - and I think there shouldn't be recent references to genitalia on his twitter feed when these strangers do pay a visit.

He has deleted it and is pissed off with me for imposing censorship on him, saying that there's no point having twitter if he can't be honest on it.

Is he right or am I?

I do not understand social media at all.

It does seem a bit dim to put unprofessional stuff on twitter when people interested in you professionally are shortly going to be looking at it. Possibly costing you business and money.

You can perfectly well tell other adults what to do, particularly when you're married and your actions do reflect on and impact eachother. I tell dh what to do if it's something I know more about and he tells me what to do if it's something he knows more about. Clearly in this case, the op is more knowledgable than her dh and he'd be a fool to ignore her.

What a twat!

(and I dont mean your DH)

Yanbu. Bad idea if it could impact on him professionally.

Sorry I would need to know what the tweet was. If it were something like, God isn't it easy to take a picture of your knob when tweeting on the jacks,I wouldn't be getting het up about it.

Fuck, if I said something stupid on twitter, I'd expect (and hope) my DH and my closest mates to tell me asap.
It's got sod all to do with "telling another adult what to do". It's reputation management which can kill your career.

Thanks all for the spread of advice

For those who wanted to know exactly what I said, I think my exact words were (in a doubtful rather than bossy tone of voice) "I really don't think it's a good idea to mention your cock on twitter" but I didn't force him to delete it! I was aiming more to be giving PR advice rather than being controlling.

Anyway he is no longer in a huff about it so all is well. Cheers again for the input.
