Governing, Social Networking Sites – Leading to Greater Accessibility and Free Speech ????

Accessibility and Web 2.0 is currently one of the third viewed articles on Governing magazine’s website. The main point of this piece that it glosses over a lot is that governments at all levels are increasingly using social networking sites in two ways: 1. To make a virtual town hall meeting 24/7 where the public can voice their opinion, lodge greivances, seek redress, presumably even practice or not practice a religion as one sees fit; and, 2. Deliver and/or facilitate goods, services and equal opportunity especially in respect to such things as education and employment. The article mentions that a government entity's failure to address web access issues when using these sites may violate the Rehab Act. Now I am no lawyer but to me it likewise violates something that if memory serves is called the 1st Amendment as well.
