Keeping connected to vital information in the Town of Princeton just got a lot harder.

On the heels of the Meta news ban, which prevents news organizations from posting links to stories on Facebook, as of Friday, Sept. 1 the municipality is unable to post links from its website to the area91裸聊视频檚 many community Facebook groups.

The town has routinely used community groups to keep residents up-to-date on municipal matters.

91裸聊视频淚t91裸聊视频檚 to get information out, so sometimes it91裸聊视频檚 bylaw information, sometimes it91裸聊视频檚 updates that are pertinent to things that are going on in the community, evacuation alerts and those sort of things, even meeting notices,91裸聊视频� said Mayor Spencer Coyne.

All municipal posts on at least six community groups have been deleted, going back four years.

The reason given is the posts 91裸聊视频済o against community standards for cybersecurity.91裸聊视频�

Using the community pages is a key part of the town91裸聊视频檚 communication strategy, he added.

91裸聊视频淚t just threw us back 20 years, maybe even further.91裸聊视频�

Council and staff are now discussing how to move forward.

91裸聊视频淲e are super frustrated by this and we are exploring all options.91裸聊视频�

It is unknown whether the situation is linked to the Meta news ban.

91裸聊视频淚 don91裸聊视频檛 know, but it91裸聊视频檚 suspicious timing,91裸聊视频� said Coyne. 91裸聊视频淭hat has been one of my concerns from day one, that municipalities would get trapped or caught up in all this. It91裸聊视频檚 suspicious anyways.91裸聊视频�

Coyne has submitted many requests to FB for reviews of the deleted posts, and they have been denied.

The town is still able to post links from its website to its own three official Facebook pages; Town of Princeton, Town of Princeton Emergency Management and Town of Princeton Recreation.

Coyne is urging all residents to follow these pages and to also stay connected through local media.

91裸聊视频淲e just want to get the information out there.91裸聊视频�
