The city of Bee Cave will consider a new social media policy following a March 15 Supreme Court ruling, which held that local government officials can now block citizens and delete comments from their personal pages.
The rundown
At an April 9 City Council meeting, Communications Director Jenny Hoff said the new policy would provide guidelines for posting and deleting content from city department and city staff pages.
Mayor Kara King said the idea to create a social media policy was spurred by the Lindke v. Freed Supreme Court case, which defined when posts by local leaders are deemed official matters and when they are considered personal.
