Since the number of snow raids has increased this year, there is a debate on social media. And it includes many things on apps like color neighbors and Next strings as people catch events through security camps or video indoor bulls. This has also caused some controversy: consumers want to post about police activity in their area and want to warn others, but many have found that their posts end. Because of this, there are concerns that apps are censoring certain types of conversations – so I reach the companies what is happening.
This news is mostly: It is allowed to post about events like ice raids and these social apps want people to have more open conversations, but only if you follow some rules. How to stay inside the lines here and keep your neighbors aware at the same time.
Rules of reporting law enforcement activity on apps such as color neighbors
Posts, which are less likely to eliminate the streets and other nearby locations.
When I arrived to talk about recent incidents and police raids (Redded reports about eliminating posts), the company provided helpful information about its specific policies.
I found out for the reasons that cause the color to remove some posts or prevent the neighbors from going directly. For one thing, about posts A General The presence of law enforcement agencies can be used. So if someone said that ice was seen in the “Bell Gardens”, his post would be denied because it was very vague. Or if a post was asked, “Hey, is there any snow activity in the city?” It will not be allowed. Other posts are banned if they:
- Is clearly obstructed in law enforcement agencies
- Political opinion of voice
- Assume an immigration status, or other type of prejudice
- Don’t be related to local events
Color allows posts about neighbors Specific Law enforcement activity
Color posts usually allow specific information, but not extensive debate or accusations.
Posts that refer to a exact location, or images that show up directly connected with an incident are cured. If someone said, “I saw that Ice saw the door knocking on Florence and Pico’s Ihop,” according to the color guide letters, it would be allowed. Other permitted posts provide information about precise cross -stretches, leaves, complexes, blocks, etc.
The ban is not always immediate. Sometimes posts that violate guidelines, after the fact, either after moderation, a result of a consumer flagging or deleting the user. And users can usually appeal for moderation decisions for consistency.
When I turned to the Next door, another famous neighborhood app used to discuss the events, a company spokesperson said: “Our platform promotes talks about local issues and, like, our community guidelines are broadcast on national political topics.” Unless it is a local issue and users follow the basic community guidelines (respect, not discriminate and use your original identity), then posts should be fine.
Guidelines to post on color neighbors and much more
App users need to give details and full details in their posts, especially if they are adding a picture.
When I meet with my own neighbors’ app, I see – contrary to some reports – that users often post on sirens or police activity in their palaces, ask about masked strangers or raise questions about law enforcement agencies.
Posts like this makes it clear: You Can Still posting security concerns on color neighbors and other apps, even and especially when they involve police activity. You can also post about people you do not recognize and don’t knock on strangers, who opens the door to talk about masked federal ice agents (not literally) who are not wearing any identifiers.
In other words, it seems that what the color has said is true. Current, referring to local events, is allowed, preferably with address data.
Next Door advised to “focus on the behavior that raised your doubts.” “Explain the potentially criminal or dangerous activity that you observed or tested – what the person was doing, what they said (if they talk to you). Add the direction they were lasting.” If you look at the safety of your neighborhood, your post is less likely to be removed.
Finally, avoid posts that contain horrific content, or which violates the privacy of someone, which are also red flags that cause block.
Can the user harmonize with each other on apps like color neighbor?
People allow talks about what people can share about the ongoing police incidents.
It is a brown area and it is difficult to know what the conversation will end. In my experience on the neighboring app, there was a lot of conversation about the unclear presence of sirens and police, allowing people to provide additional information from their own point of view, which they heard on police scanners and much more.
It is possible that the more these posts are mentioned in the snow or the federal enforcement, the more they will be eliminated, and if the negotiations are transmitted to talks about national issues or ordinary legal advice, they can be eliminated. But many people have reported that they have successfully used neighbors’ apps to talk about close law enforcement raids, so I do not see any evidence of banning blankets.
In order to provide important information or assistance, groups using the neighbor app should also be aware of neighbors’ certified tags, which are available to both public safety agencies and community organizations. This tag makes it easy for neighbors to rely on information and announcements from specific accounts. Verified accounts do not have access to any additional information about users.
Law enforcement reports are covering home doors and camera
9 News, Denver, was published footage associated with an NBC, which he reported about the federal agents covering the video indoor bull during a raid. –
It is unclear whether such a move is illegal under irrational seizures and reservations against visits, but civil rights lawyers have said it is so. If such a thing happens, it is better to save the recording immediately – and remember that agents almost always need a warrant to enter your home.
Some final rules to follow
Often the best response to federal raids is no response, as well as remember your rights.
Whether you are worried about federal raids, you are interested in what law enforcement in your area is doing or just want to clarify about disturbing events, remember some of the basic principles described by the American Civil Liberties Union and the National Immigrant Justice Center.
Do not grow: In cases where federal agents or people appear to be agents, people have knocked on the doors, people did nothing and waited for agents to leave. Remember, without a warrant, they usually can’t enter a house, and if you have a video indoor bull, it can still record everything that happens. Avoid confrontation when possible, and do not allow law enforcement agencies to work. Remember, everyone has the right to remain silent.
If you think your safety is at risk, call 911 or seek help from non -profit: Calling 911 is very helpful if you feel unsafe due to close events. You can explain the situation and keep a call record. 911 is an emergency response service and is not in the reporting business to federal agents. Even local immigrants are local rights agencies that you can contact to report to the ICE, and groups like ACLU can usually point to you in the right direction.
