Disabling/editing of posts/users: The team of Girls Get Going reserves the right to edit/remove the posts and/or disable the account of any member who does not comply with these community guidelines or any reason deemed appropriate by the administration for the good of the community and its safety. Requests for removal will entail removing personal data, location, avatar, etc,. to protect the privacy of the person but the member account will remain intact because of the nature of the threading of posts within the database.
Freedom of Speech? Although the constitution of the US guarantees that “Congress shall make no law abridging the freedom of speech”, Girls Get Going is not Congress.
