Social Media Policy
The ACLU of Pennsylvania welcomes our online community to engage with our social media accounts through discussion, questions, and thoughtful debate. We support the freedom of speech of our users, including discourse that disagrees with our views. However, as a non-governmental organization, we reserve the right to hide or delete posts and messages that violate our guidelines, including:
- Advertisements, promotions, or solicitations of a commercial product or service. Spam, i.e., large volumes of unnecessarily repetitive content.
- Harassing or demeaning other commenters or groups of people, including ACLU-PA staff and clients, but not limited to on the basis of race, nationality, ethnicity, religion, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, or disability.
- Threatening or suggesting violence or harm, directly or indirectly, to another person.
- Confidential, personally identifying, or private information as defined by state law.
- Unlawful obscenity.
The ACLU of Pennsylvania also reserves the right to temporarily or permanently block users that do not follow these guidelines. Suspected bot accounts will also be blocked.
We do not take intake or legal requests through social media comments or messages. Attachments of graphic images and videos included in messages will be deleted for the safety of our social media team.
Please visit our online complaint form to file a complaint and to ensure confidentiality.
