When Alaska rolled back its protections for LGBTQ people, it didn't send out a press release.
Instead, the state quietly announced the policy change via the social media feeds of its human rights commission.
The agency's Twitter and Facebook accounts had a total of 102 followers as of yesterday.

Alaska Says It’s Now Legal “in Some Instances” to Discriminate Against LGBTQ Individuals
On the advice of the state’s attorney general, Alaska’s civil rights agency quietly deleted language promising equal protections for LGBTQ Alaskans against most categories of discrimination, and it began refusing to investigate complaints.
