In May 2022, Jefferson County Commissioner Steven Stolipher began a discussion on his government official-designated Facebook page, and our client asked him questions about his post. That same day she was blocked from viewing and interacting with his content. The ACLU of West Virginia’s legal team is arguing that Stolipher violated the State Constitution’s free speech and public assembly rights. Government officials cannot block constituents on social media just because they don’t want to answer a question.
