OCEAN PINES – Association officials say they will consider a board policy on social media usage.
Director Doug Parks presented the Ocean Pines Association (OPA) Board of Directors last week with a proposed social media policy. He argued protocols for the use of social media platforms would ensure information shared by directors would be consistent.
“I’m generalizing here, but sometimes there may be a source of confusion as to where the official pieces of information regarding Ocean Pines reside …,” he said. “I think it’s very important we make sure the community knows while we’re not dismissing any of the other sources, that we do make sure everybody is aware there is an official information source.”
Association President Colette Horn said she was against a proposed social media policy, as the board had already agreed to what information should be shared online.
“I guess we did make a consensus agreement that our personal postings on non-OPA websites would be factual information sharing, sharing what’s available on the OPA website or other governmental websites that have the authority over whatever topic we are posting, and that it be referenced,” she said. “Is there an appetite for creating a policy for that?”
Publishers Notes: Censorship at its best. They only want information to the masses THEY claim to be accurate and true. However, there are no more investigative reporters who may in fact challenge the so called facts and truth. All to often these days your local media only publishes press releases. That does NOT mean what they are telling you is a fact or truth. Rake the Mayor of Salisbury claiming their Waste Water Treatment Plant does in fact work, not true. It may operate but it does not work to industry standards. I have to wonder what our children will be reading in the future!!!
Agreed…slippery slope with censorship. Seems the Pines can never ever get their sh*t straight. Never ever.
It used to be what happened in the ” PINES ” stayed in the Pines. It was mostly second homes for swingers then. It wasn’t planned to become a suburban enclave of families and retirees.
They seem to think that The Pines is an exclusive place. It isn’t! It’s just an ordinary housing development of houses crammed up together, like any other housing development. It’s nothing special. I just don’t get the idea that they think is is somehow better than any other average community.
