## Resource

Mayor Mamdani’s office is under fire after it emerged that a City Hall staffer ran a Signal group with over 200 influencers—using disappearing messages, which violates city record-keeping rules. The city’s top lawyer says staff must disable the feature to comply, and questions remain about whether official messages were lost. While the administration insists it doesn’t pay influencers and believes social media engagement is vital, they haven’t confirmed if the staffer had proper authorization—or if further action is needed.
