An important goal of the WCBCC is to support the distribution of information to members of the public, and to do so with a level of transparency that encourages trust in government. The use of social media enhances our ability to do this, particularly through social networking sites. This page will be used for the distribution of County government information. It is not intended to provide a forum
for contact by the public for issues or questions they have regarding the County or its services. Members of the public who have specific questions or need assistance should contact the County directly via phone or email. All comments, opinions, advice, statements, or other information contained in any posts or transmitted by any third party are the responsibility of the author of that message and not that of Walton County. Walton County will not be held responsible for the views of individuals who comment on Walton County social media sites. It is not the intent of the WCBCC to provide a venue or forum for the expression and/or postings of unlimited comments, videos, or links simply for the convenience of the public. Walton County reserves the right to monitor and remove any content at any time for any reason at its sole, subjective discretion. Comments, discussion posts, wall posts, and any other user-posted content that is deemed inappropriate by Walton County will be removed from the Page. Advertisements posted for anything not sanctioned by Walton County will be deleted. Walton County expects that users will not post materials that fall into the following categories, and will remove postings that are:
1) Obscene, vulgar, s*xually explicit, or otherwise offensive language/content, or links to such material
2) Threats of any kind, particularly toward any other user or the WCBCC, its members and employees
3) The advocating of criminal acts or other illegal behavior
4) Material that has the potential to compromise public safety or the safety of law enforcement personnel
5) Remarks that disparage or discriminate against anyone based upon their s*x, race, creed, religious views, national origin, s*xual orientation, disability, etc.
6) Remarks that may be considered libel, made toward any person or organization
7) Anything that is clearly off the intended topic of discussion
8) Information that is clearly inaccurate, unverified, and purposefully designed to mislead others
9) Campaigning of any type, political or otherwise
10) Links to other third-party sites or advertisements
11) Any form of solicitation; and
12) Any other language/material deemed inappropriate or offensive. All content on the WCBCC social media pages, to include user comments, is considered property of the WCBCC, and is subject to disclosure under the Florida’s Public Records Act. Comments posted on WCBCC social media pages are not considered private and are available for viewing by anyone accessing said pages. We urge you to protect your privacy and not list any personal or sensitive information about yourself when commenting on a post.
