JUST IN: The Boone County Commissioners say an internal investigation has been launched one day after the ACLU filed a lawsuit alleging the county blocked a citizen from its official Facebook page after a comment.
Filed on behalf of Kevin Dininger, the lawsuit alleges the County violated the First Amendment and the actions represent viewpoint-based discrimination.
"The County responded swiftly to Mr. Dininger’s comment by limiting or disabling any comments on the post, an act that had the effect of deleting Mr. Dinginer’s comment," the lawsuit read. "The County’s action in blocking Mr. Dininger from its Facebook page unjustifiably impinges on Mr. Dininger’s rights under the First Amendment," the lawsuit states.
