The ACLU of Iowa welcomes vigorous debate and differing views in its social media accounts, including posts that disagree with our own views. However, as a non-governmental, private organization, we reserve the right to hide or delete posts, as well as to temporarily or permanently block users that engage in or contain the following:
- Threatening or suggesting violence or harm, directly or indirectly, to another person. In addition, we may report threats to appropriate authorities.
- Harassing or demeaning other people or groups of people, including but not limited to on the basis of race, nationality, ethnicity, religion, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, or disability.
- Obscenity
- Spam and/or large volumes of repetitive content
- Advertisements, promotions, or solicitations of a commercial product or service
- Confidential, personally identifying, or private information
We will also block accounts that we have reason to believe are bots or are malicious.
If you are requesting legal assistance, do not post those requests in our social media accounts. We will not respond to them in that way. Instead, please email legal.program@aclu-ia.org so that we can assure your confidentiality. We reserve the right to remove or hide requests for legal assistance.
Questions about the ACLU of Iowa social media policy can be sent to editor@aclu-ia.org.
