Every day, counties, municipalities (cities, towns, villages), and special districts across Missouri communicate with the public on social media. Every comment, reply, reaction, and post could be a public record. Are you confident you could produce them tomorrow if asked?
In Missouri, social media records are subject to disclosure under the Sunshine Law (Mo. Rev. Stat. § 610.010 et seq.). This includes posts, comments, messages, and metadata.
The Missouri Attorney General issues guidance and enforces compliance with the Sunshine Law.
Failing to capture social media records can expose counties, municipalities, and special districts to penalties, lawsuits, negative media attention, and, most damaging of all, the loss of public trust.
Manual methods like screenshots aren’t enough; they miss critical details such as metadata, timestamps, edits, and deletions.
That’s why local government entities across the country are turning to Brolly. Purpose-built for government, Brolly automatically captures every interaction, applies secure retention, and makes records export-ready, keeping you compliant while safeguarding your reputation.
