Civil rights groups are speaking out against a recent effort to penalize US federal inmates for their use of social media. The move has sparked controversy and raised concerns about the rights of incarcerated individuals.
The issue stems from a new policy that would punish federal inmates for accessing social media platforms while in prison. The policy, which is set to go into effect soon, would impose disciplinary measures on inmates found using social media, including loss of privileges and potential time added to their sentences.
