This comment may be hard to understand but I was wondering…. If “I” created an email account then “I” have to report it to the sheriff’s department prior to me sending emails…. Now what if my friend created a new email account and then went on and created a new Facebook account using that email and then used my first and last name on the page. they give me the log in info for the Facebook account but “NOT” the email account. Now seeing that the email account is not mine and I have no access to it to send emails I would not have to report it to the sheriff’s department. I WILL NEED TO REPORT THE FACEBOOK PAGE. online at the fdle offender dashboard it only requires me to list user ID (which would be my name which is very common) and the site which would be Facebook. It Doesn’t ask for the email associated with the account. They probably just assume that it would be attached to my personal email. I would not be in violation for not registering the email because I don’t have access to it. I would have to register the Facebook account though. And as far as D.O.B. and personal information on the Facebook page I could just keep it private and not post my photo or share my hometown so nobody would know I’m a S.O. accept the sheriff’s department which I legally registered the page with. I believe that this would work as the only way Facebook tracks us is through “OUR” emails and the email used to create this Facebook page is not mine and I have no access to it so I do not have to register it. I may be wrong or missing something if I am please let me know if I missed anything.

In reply to Anonymous. I asked this very question to FDLE, they said they do not. They claim to have nothing to do with that, those are 3rd party watchdogs that send your info.

In reply to Jim. The state sends Facebook a list of all registered email addresses and Facebook scrubs the accounts reported to them. It usually happens within a few days of reporting a new email address to the FDLE system. After 3 in a week I gave up. Instagram, VK, Tumblr, and others don’t seem to care.

No,I had my Facebook for 6 years and always had it registered.
Then somebody went and sent them my so flyer,I just didn’t get banned,they wiped my account from existence.
But never had a problem registering it and was never told.i was in violation of any law.

In reply to Edward Ruggles. Ok,so if it's Facebook it's self that doesn't allow SOs to be part of the citizens who can be on Facebook then has any one heard of a sex offender being ordered to be, or has been removed by Facebook it's self. And , I believe that FB must know or have a way to know if SOs have an active account on FB. So why hasn't FB contacted all SOs on FB, or simply deleted them?

No, not in Florida.
This is not about a law prohibiting registrants from being on Facebook.
This is about facebook’s policy: https://www.facebook.com/help/210081519032737?helpref=uf_permalink

I know more than a few SOs who use Facebook and I’m told that they have shared this every time they register,with ” the powers that are in control of their registration. They are not told to remove themselves from that site, or are they told that they are in violation. So my question is can a S.O. be in violation if they have a Facebook account and they confirmed it every time they register…?

In reply to Jm. What is more interesting is that California law prohibits denial of business services based on being registered and Facebook is not only a California corporation but also requires that all users submit to California law for dispute resolution.

In reply to Florida Action Committee. Bit since they are now hosting a government service wouldnt banning us be a refusal of our rights to equal access? If the content is mandated for all tonuave access and they took upon themselves to use their platform then arent they denying us our rights directly? Its like the landlord of the building not letting offenders enter to register in the probation office in that same building.
