MONTGOMERY, Ala — The Alabama Attorney General's Office has opened a form for citizens to report "social media censorship complaints."

The form's description reads as follows:

"This form allows you to submit a complaint to the Alabama Attorney General’s Office regarding actions of suppression, censorship, or deplatforming taken by a social-media platform involving an account owned or managed by you. Such actions include—but are not limited to—the following:

  • blocking, restricting, suspending, terminating, removing, or banning your account;
  • rejecting content posted or shared on your account;
  • attaching an editorial message to content posted or shared on your account;
  • obscuring, hiding, or otherwise making less accessible content posted or shared on your account; or
  • altering or deleting content posted or shared on your account.

Please use separate forms to file complaints regarding separate accounts. For example, if you have a Facebook and a Twitter account that have both been affected, then please file two complaints—one specific to your Facebook account and one specific to your Twitter account."
