Social Media Records are Public Records
In the USA, social media is considered a public government record in all 50 states. All public agencies have an obligation to comply with open record laws.
Public records laws maintain that you need to be able to produce social media records – both from your own content, and also from content your constituents create – in response to records requests. This means you are responsible for all the content on your social pages, even if your agency didn’t create it!
Social media networks were built to facilitate the online connection of billions of private citizens to one another. They are not built for, nor bound to, public records laws, and have no legal obligation to retain records for you.
Manual processes are inefficient for both capturing and searching records, and often don’t suffice in court. Challenges with frequency of capture, hidden/deleted/revised content, and no meta-data to prove authenticity of records all leave agencies with significant risks.
You are required by law to be able to produce social media content if there is a public records request for it. Having a social media capture tool in place that records all content and meta-data is the only way of ensuring compliance with social media regulations and compliance laws.

Social media is a great communication tool for public entities. However, social media content is considered public record for institutions in government, law enforcement, and school districts, in all 50 states.
Social networks have no obligation to retain or provide you with your social media records. If you receive a public records request for social media content and are unable to produce it, you and your agency may face damaging legal action or costly settlement expenses. A social media records management strategy is you and your organization’s responsibility – but we’re here to help.
