Content Removel
Content removal is the process of taking down material from the Edgewater Gazette website when it violates our standards or is legally required to be withdrawn. It applies to posts, comments, or shared items that are abusive, defamatory, unlawful, or otherwise harmful to the community. Removal is not based on personal preference but must be supported by verifiable documentation such as a court order, law enforcement directive, dismissal record, or notarized letter. This ensures that the Gazette remains a safe, transparent, and accountable platform for all readers.
The Review Process
When a request for content removal is received, it is carefully examined to ensure that it includes proper documentation such as a court order, law enforcement directive, dismissal record, or notarized letter. The request is then reviewed by our editorial and compliance team, who confirm that the documentation is authentic and directly relevant to the material in question. If the evidence meets these standards, the content is evaluated against our community guidelines and legal obligations to determine whether removal is warranted. Decisions are made with transparency and fairness, and the requesting party is notified of the outcome. Requests that are unsupported or unverifiable are not acted upon, thereby protecting the integrity of the Gazette and the rights of all parties involved. The removal process typically takes up to 30 days to complete, though in complex cases it may extend, with a maximum timeframe of one year.
How to Requst
To request removal of content from the Edgewater Gazette website, you must send your request directly to the official email address listed on the Edgewater Gazette Facebook Page. Your email should include supporting documents that provide verifiable evidence, such as a court order, law enforcement directive, dismissal record, or a notarized letter.
Once your documents are received, the review team will outline the next steps in the process, including how your request will be evaluated and when you can expect a decision. This procedure ensures that all removal requests are handled fairly, transparently, and in compliance with legal standards.
NOTICE:
By submitting a request for the removal of content from the Edgewater Gazette website, you acknowledge and agree to the following terms and conditions. Any request must be supported by verifiable documentation, which may include a valid court order, law enforcement directive, dismissal record, or a notarized letter. The Edgewater Gazette retains full discretion to review, verify, and determine the sufficiency of such documentation before taking any action. Approval of a removal request shall never be construed as an admission of wrongdoing, liability, or fault by the Gazette, its owners, staff, or affiliates.
In accordance with recent changes to Florida law, including legislative reforms enacted in 2025 addressing defamation and false publications, the Gazette will comply with statutory requirements that mandate timely removal of content determined to be false or defamatory. Under these laws, continued online presence of a false statement may be treated as a new publication, extending liability, while publishers may claim limited immunity only when they have exercised due care to prevent defamatory publication.
By requesting removal and pursuing court proceedings or legal action related to the content in question, you expressly agree to assume sole responsibility for all associated costs, including court filing fees, attorney’s fees, and any damages sought or awarded. The Gazette shall not bear financial responsibility for litigation initiated by the requesting party, regardless of its outcome.
This disclaimer is intended to protect the integrity of the publication, ensure compliance with applicable laws, and safeguard against frivolous or unsupported claims. By proceeding with a removal request, you confirm your understanding of these obligations and accept full responsibility for any legal or financial consequences that may arise.
