From Likes to Laws: Building Compliant Social Media Policies

Header and Body

Tune in April 23 at 2 PM ET

As social media becomes an essential tool for government communication, state agencies must navigate the complex intersection of public engagement and regulatory compliance. With public records laws requiring agencies to retain and manage digital interactions, the need for clear, enforceable social media policies has never been greater. At the same time, shifting platform policies and evolving regulations add layers of complexity to records management. How can state organizations ensure compliance while maintaining an effective and responsive digital presence?

This discussion will examine how government agencies are developing and implementing internal social media policies to meet legal and transparency obligations. Panelists will explore best practices for data retention, accessibility, and records management, as well as strategies for mitigating risk in an ever-changing digital landscape. The conversation will also highlight the role of technology in streamlining documentation and preserving the integrity of public communications.
