Someone could certainly make a case in a lawsuit for an ADA violation. I bet if people organized, the city would listen before it got to that point

There are open meeting laws like the Brown Act but I think that only restricts relying on social media for deliberation. Not communication

There is also Lindke v. Freed (2024) which holds that public officials using social media can be sued under the First Amendment violations like blocking users or deleting comments.

I miss the days when we had an RFC, people got together, came up with a solution, and we ended up with decentralized NNTP or something. Everything is someone's little kingdom now.
