The City of East Dubuque’s Facebook page has been suspended. City Manager Loras Herrig says every video post of past City Council meetings streamed on the city’s Facebook page recently was reported without merit for hate speech. Herrig says a user had to report each video individually, a time-consuming process, and that Facebook won’t reveal who reported the videos. Herrig says the city would move away from using the Facebook page for council meetings and agendas in the wake of the incident, instead providing that content on the city’s website.
