Town of Farragut Social Media Policy
Thanks for following the Town of Farragut’s social media channels! We see social media as a unique opportunity to engage with the community online. Our goal is to share Farragut news, events and other local content with as many people as possible on social media channels, which are avenues that allow the public to respond with related input. Of course, the opinions expressed by visitors on the Town’s social media pages do not reflect the opinions of the Town, and the Town does not promote or endorse comments posted on our pages. While we encourage individuals to share thoughts and opinions on the Town of Farragut’s social media platforms, we expect this to be done respectfully, truthfully and in a constructive manner. Comments may be removed by the Town if they contain:
• Defamation (false and injurious language)
• Threats (serious expressions of intent to commit an unlawful act of violence)
• Spam (content that is not related to the subject matter of the post) or content that is so unrelated, in the sole opinion of staff, that it causes confusion concerning the actual subject matter of the original post
• Encouragement of illegal activity
• Malware links
• Promotion of illegal discrimination, such as offensive and disparaging comments that target ethnic, racial, cultural, religious or other groups protected by law
• Content that purports to claim ownership of intellectual property rights contrary to the true ownership interest established by another party.
• Personally identifiable information about an individual such as financial or health care data
Links posted within comments may be deleted if they are deemed inappropriate based on the above criteria. Please be aware that all comments are subject to disclosure as public records. The Town has the authority to disable comments on any of its social media platforms. Have questions? Feel free to reach out to us at [email protected].
