Social Media Terms of Use

The Port of Astoria (Port) may create one or more social media sites, the purpose of which shall be to communicate information to the public about Port projects, programs and activities, and general public service announcements. Social media accounts are not an official means for members of the public to communicate concerns to the Port. Any notices or requests for Port services must be made via communication methods identified on the Port’s website.

The Port will monitor comments posted to Port social media sites to the greatest extent possible and practicable. The Port reserves the right to remove or hide any comment that is deemed in violation of the Port’s social media policy, or any applicable law, including, but not limited to, comments that are spam; incite violence; threaten or defame any person or organization; are abusive or offensive, or contain profane language or content; include sexual content or links to sexual content; violate the intellectual property rights of another party; copyright infringement; promote illegal activity; promote commercial products or services; promote discrimination on an unlawful basis; are not topically related to the original posting; or contain information that may tend to compromise the safety or security of the public or public systems.

The Port reserves the right to remove or hide articles, messages, posts, comments, images, video or other content containing any of the prohibited content described above as soon as possible.

All posts and comments are public record and subject to disclosure.

Social media accounts are not continuously monitored. The Port disclaims any and all responsibility or liability for any materials that the Port deems inappropriate for posting which cannot be removed in an expeditious and otherwise timely manner.
