MoDOT’s website and social media accounts serve as a limited public forum and all content published is subject to monitoring. User-generated posts will be rejected or hidden from view when the content:
• Is off-subject or out of context
• Contains obscenities or material that appeals to the prurient interest
• Contains personal identifying information or sensitive personal information
• Contai
ns offensive terms that target protected classes
• Is threatening, harassing or discriminatory
• Incites or promotes violence or illegal activities
• Contains information that reasonably could compromise individual or public safety
• Promotes or endorses political campaigns or candidates
Additionally, if an individual posts any unacceptable content three times or more on an agency social media platform, MoDOT social media managers may take action to prevent that user from posting any additional content on the page. Three offenses will be allowed in an attempt to maintain an open dialogue on the forum. After the third offense, authorized individuals may block the offending user. Depending on the nature or severity of the posted content, authorized individuals reserve the right to block a user on the first offense.
