1st Amendment Case Filed Against DA Gonzalez

Under the First Amendment, government officials such as District Attorney Gonzalez are prohibited from establishing a government social media page permitting public comment and then censoring unfavorable comments that express opposing viewpoints. Unfortunately, DA Gonzalez has been ignoring the constitutional rights of her constituents and simply deleting posts which she deems unfavorable.

Interactive social media accounts, such as the DA Facebook profile page, if regulated by a public official acting under color of state law, constitute government-controlled forums and are subject to the same First Amendment requirements as are physical forums managed by the government. Although social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc. are private, it is still considered a government-controlled forum subject to the First Amendment since a government official, i.e. DA Gonzalez or a member of her team, have made the social media account available as a virtual space for public comment and are regulating it. Since she created this forum for speech and expression, she is not permitted to engage in viewpoint discrimination.

On September 10, 2024, a Federal Complaint for Injunctive Relief and Damages was failed against DA Gonzales, individually, and in her capacity as District Attorney. A hearing has been scheduled for October 7, 2024 at 2:00 p.m.
