Commissioners,
“U.S. Supreme Court Changes Law on Government First Amendment Liability for Social Media Activities”
https://mrsc.org/stay-informed/mrsc-insight/april-2024/lindke-v-freed
The U.S. Supreme Court (Court) recently decided Lindke v. Freed <https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/23pdf/22-611_ap6c.pdf> . The case changes Washington law regarding government social
media liability and has important implications for local government officials and their agency employers.
In light of that decision, it would be a good idea for Jefferson County to revisit its current social media policy.
Thank you,
Tom Thiersch
Jefferson County, WA
