8 Comments on Social Media The purpose of the City of St. Anthony sponsored social media sites is to communicate between the City, its individual departments and members of the public. The City reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to change, modify, add or delete comments or posts, photos and videos in accordance with this policy. In general, it is the City’s intent to not allow posts to be initiated by users on its social media pages. However, in the instances where comments are allowed, the City will remove comments that: • Contain obscenities; • Demean specific individuals or groups of people; • Are libelous/slanderous; • Contain factual inaccuracies; • Qualify as SPAM; • Are not topically related to the particular social medium article being commented upon; • Express support for or opposition to political campaigns or ballot measures; • Contain sexual content or links to sexual content; • Solicit commerce; • Conduct or encourage illegal activity; • Compromise the safety or security of the public or public systems; or • Violate a legal ownership interest of any other party. Any content removed based on these guidelines, must be retained by the City for a reasonable period of time, including the time, date and identity of the poster, when available. If possible, archived data should reflect the context of the situation it was removed from. Questions on Social Media The City of St. Anthony staff will monitor social media sites Monday through Friday 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM. Staff will respond within one business day to specific questions posted on social media with information or direction to the city website or other resource. In some instances, staff may ask the person to contact the city offline when appropriate (when it is a private issue, when the issue is one in which there is little or no interest by others, etc.).
