Overeaters Anonymous Statement on Public and Social Media Policy

While Overeaters Anonymous has no opinion on outside issues, including social media, the delegates of the 2019 World Service Business Conference (WBSC) recommend that any OA member, group, or service body using social media for OA public information and public awareness maintain the personal anonymity of OA members.

Members of Overeaters Anonymous are anonymous. The Fellowship is not. Members of Overeaters Anonymous are responsible for maintaining their anonymity and respecting the anonymity of other OA members. When attending an OA meeting, whether face-to-face or virtual, members are encouraged to seek appropriate means to protect their own anonymity and that of fellow members.

All registered virtual meetings shall inform members that their anonymity is not fully protected when attending a virtual meeting. (WSBC Policy 2011a, amended 2016 and 2019)

OA’s Social Media Channels

OA’s social media channels are maintained by the World Service Office. Through social media, we provide informative and inspiring content consistent with OA’s Public Communications Policy, and registered OA service bodies are welcome to like, comment on, and share OA’s social media content.

OA members are advised that liking, following, and interacting with OA’s social media content from a personal social media account may compromise personal anonymity.
