NY: Federal District Court grants injunction against the state blocking social media
A group of people forced to register as sex offenders in New York have been granted a preliminary injunction by a Federal District Court in New York against the NY State Department of Corrections and Community Supervision, which sought to ban these individual’s access to social medial.
The court found that, “New York’s attempt to advance this interest via blanket restrictions cannot be squared with the significant freedom of speech rights at stake.”
The court said that any ban on social media must be individualized and cannot be applied as a one-size-fits-all restriction that’s applied to everyone classified as a sex offender.

So when I was California my Facebook was ok never been deleted when I moved to New York they give my email Adress to Facebook and couple weeks after moving here my Facebook was deleted for being on the registry but whole time in California even know they had my email Facebook never had known so it’s very unfortunate it makes me feel isolated social media is very big for people
Here in the state of Missouri facebook currently suspends all accounts of Registry individuals regardless of the offence
Facebook does that nationwide
How does Mike Tyson have an active facebook, Twitter and instagram being a sexual predator?
He’s not a sexual predator. As to how he has facebook… ??? Twitter does not remove registrants.
Soooo, this should be a lawsuit for Florida as well.
Florida DOES NOT block registrants on Social Media
Actually they do. They block certain registrants from either the internet and/or social media.
Why would they. They just give the information to FB and they do it for them.
For those interested, Parler does not restrict access to those convicted of a sexual offense. It’s an open platform. If you should join, don’t forget about our bullshit legal requirements and register your user name.
