Gov 2.0, Federal Use of Social Media and the Law
summary
GSA runs 8,500 buildings, 300,000 vehicles and manages about $60 billion in annual spending while facing old laws like the 1840 Appropriations and the Anti-Deficiency Act that make clicking “I accept” risky. Procurement Integrity and Section 508 block unfettered use of Yammer (1,500 GSA users) and many consumer TOS because of indemnification and attorney fees and state court clauses. Apps.gov offers federal-friendly terms and a first GSA product‑recall app; Senate Bill 3530 would ease gift/prize authority.
