Facebook Government Pages May Grow In Number
State and local governments now have the same terms for pages that the U.S. government does, and that could prompt a surge in page creation by entities that had been holding back until now.
The attorneys general in 15 states have reached an agreement with Facebook over how state and local governments represent themselves on social network pages. This may prompt a surge in page creation by such entities.
The agreement resembles one that Facebook arranged with the U.S. government, clarifying the terms for the way federal agencies present themselves and connect with the public via pages on the social network.
A press release put out by the Utah Attorney General’s Office explains how Facebook has modified four provisions of its terms and conditions to meet government needs:
- Striking the indemnity clause except to the extent indemnity is allowed by a state’s constitution or law.
WORK SMARTER - LEARN, GROW AND BE INSPIRED.
