​​Request

I would like the following information in relation to how many States of Jersey Departments have facebook pages and which department ensures compliance that all posts and comments are monitored.

I would also like to know why States Departments allow derogatory comments on certain departments facebook pages when it comes to their own staff inappropriate behaviour they turn off commenting?

Response

All departments undergo daily monitoring and remain active from Monday to Friday, 9 am to 5 pm, excluding bank holidays and public holidays.

We refrain from active moderation of social media posts, however, posts that include abusive language, misinformation, personal attacks against specific officers or members, or discriminatory content targeting a protected group on the basis of age, race, gender or sexuality will be removed.​
