If you have been blocked from posting or commenting on an official social media page operated by an elected representative or government organization, your critical comments have been deleted, or you've otherwise been restricted from fully accessing official social media pages, our toolkit can help you learn more and take action.
Has an elected representative or government organization blocked you on social media?
If your answer is "yes," you've come to the right place.
The ACLU of Utah believes that official social media pages for elected representatives and government organizations are public forums. And we also believe that blocking individuals from accessing these pages may be an unconstitutional restriction on their right to free speech under the First Amendment.
And we're not alone.
Recent court cases in New York, Virginia, and Maine has established that elected representatives violate the First Amendment when they block individuals from expressing critical opinions on Twitter and Facebook.
So, if you have been blocked from posting or commenting on an official social media page operated by an elected representative or government organization, this is the place to start getting unblocked.
