While we encourage followers to share thoughts and opinions about the Georgia Department of Public Health (DPH) social media posts, we expect that this will be done in a respectful manner.

DPH does not agree with or endorse every post or message that is made about our pages. Our goal is to share public health information with as many individuals as possible through our social media profiles.

Therefore, we do not condone messages or posts that contain:
•    Hate speech,
•    Profanity, obscenity or vulgarity,
•    Nudity in profile pictures,
•    Defamation to a person or people,
•    Name-calling and/or personal attacks,
•    Selling of a product,
•    Infringement on copyrights,
•    Spam, i.e. same posts or messages that are sent repeatedly,
•    Other posts or messages that @GaDPH deems inappropriate.

All links sent as posts or through messenger on @GaDPH/@georgiadph will be reviewed and may be deleted.

Repeated violations of the DPH social media policy may result in the author being blocked from the @GaDPH/@georgiadph social media profiles.

We understand that social media is a 24/7 medium; however, our moderation capabilities are not. We may not see every inappropriate post or message right away, and we are trusting in the maturity of our community to ignore personal attacks and negative speech or respond politely.

Thanks for visiting, following, and interacting with our social media platforms! We look forward to hearing from you.
