In response to a letter we sent to the Town of Fairfield earlier this week, Fairfield's Town Council voted last night to temporarily suspend enforcement of the town's social media policy. The policy, adopted by the town over the summer, sought to govern town employee use of social media and the internet in order to protect the town's reputation and relationships. But in fact, the policy as written went much further - impremissibly restricting the free speech rights of town personnel. We raised our concerns in a letter to the town and are pleased to know that the town is taking the issue seriously. You can read the full story here.
Victory!
