Public Employees’ Private Social Media Speech: First Amendment Considerations for Government Employers
News of online campaigns pressuring employers to fire employees who made controversial posts to their private social media accounts flooded our feeds in 2025.

This CLE will give government lawyers necessary information to aid their determination if a government employee’s speech on their private social media account is likely First Amendment protected speech.
