In April 2018, a federal court ruling in the ACLU\u2019s case against former Governor Larry Hogan established that official government social media accounts open to public comment are protected public forums under the First Amendment.\n\nThe 2018 settlement in the ACLU\u2019s case against former Governor Larry Hogan required the Governor\u2019s office to implement new social media guidelines that prohibit viewpoint discrimination, expand public access to official platforms, create an additional forum for constituent engagement, establish procedures to contest restrictions on access, and apply these standards across all official social media accounts.\n\nStatement from Congressman Harris:\n\n\"Why is \u2018the most transparent administration ever\u2019 deleting Facebook posts on an official account? Could it be that presidential candidate Wes Moore didn\u2019t like the comments? Deleting posts or blocking on official accounts is illegal. The ACLU sued Governor Hogan over this issue. Is the ACLU going to sue Wes Moore? I doubt it. But maybe we will. I\u2019d love to see those comments on his partisan redistricting scheme.\"\n\nFor more information, please click on the link here.\n\nFor media inquiries, please contact Michella Carter at Michella.Carter@mail.house.gov", 1, "2026-04-16T05:48:36Z", "2026-04-16T05:50:08Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://harris.house.gov/media/press-releases/congressman-harris-calls-governor-wes-moore-stop-censoring-speech-official"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.7957569905556738, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
