Langford clamps down on threatening, 'sexually explicit' Facebook comments
Recent comments on the City of Langford's Facebook page have become increasingly violent and sexually explicit, as noted by Donna Petrie, senior manager of communications and economic development, during the April 7 meeting.
Councillors unanimously voted on April 7 to adopt an amended social media policy to protect staff, citing threats of physical violence and the need for better measures.
Some residents expressed concern that restricting comments would hinder public engagement with the council, claiming it would create more barriers to communication with the city.
Councillor Lillian Szpak emphasized that the changes aim to ensure a healthy workplace for staff and maintain respect within the community.
