On Technology: OpEd: used self-immolating texting despite open records laws

In December 2017, Greitens and senior members of his staff were accused by Democrats and government transparency advocates of subverting Missouri's open records laws after the Kansas City Star reported that they used Confide, a messaging app that erases texts after they have been read, on their personal phones. Two attorneys filed suit, claiming that use of such "self-immolating" apps by elected officials and government employees violates Missouri's public records laws.

On January 3, 2018, House Bill 1817 was filed in the state legislature, to ban use of apps like Confide in conducting public business, and the House Speaker told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch that in its 2018 session the legislature might consider modernizing the state's current open records laws. Attorney General Josh Hawley initiated an investigation regarding possible violations of the state's Sunshine laws, after allegations that a state employee had managed a social media account on behalf the governor.
