TML Webinar: Social Media and the Legal Landscape

About the Webinar

Join Amber McKeon-Mueller, TML Assistant Director of Legal Services, and Sarah Tompkins, TML Legal Counsel, for an instructive session about social media and the current state of the law. Social media platforms such as Facebook, TikTok, Instagram, and X (formerly known as Twitter) are prominent in every aspect of public life. City officials should learn how to avoid legal pitfalls while using social media.

Join us for this webinar and learn about:

• how social media interacts with First Amendment rights, including if a city official may delete comments or block people
• how social media use implicates the Open Meetings Act and Public Information Act
• best practices for using social media
• and much more.

You will gain practical tips for navigating the complexities presented by social media and receive updates on current jurisprudence and legislation. There will be an interactive Q&A finale to address your questions.
