Are you legally required to delete your company&#39;s social media profiles if you go out of business?
<p>If you're stopping your business (by choice or bankruptcy), are you legally required to delete your social media and blog content?</p>

<p>I'm asking because someone who works for a company that's closing mentioned to me that they are legally required to close and delete all of their company's social media profiles (including blogs, which had valuable content), and I'm skeptical if that can be a legal requirement.</p>

<p>(My example is in the United Kingdom.)</p>

<p>In the UK, you can only stop a running company if you do no business whatsoever for some time; details will be on the Company House website but I'm quite sure it is for more than a year. No business whatsoever. </p>

<p>That means for example that you can't pay a bill to a hosting company for hosting your blog. Someone (for example the company owner privately) would have to put the blogging site in their own name for some time. </p>

<p>On the other hand, if you go bankrupt or sell your business, that blog could be an asset that you would sell. </p>

<p>(In the USA) They are not. It's a 1st amendment right to have it up. </p>
