Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez must unblock Twitters users because it's unconstitutional, First Amendment group tells Democrat
that was sent to the freshman Democrat on Wednesday, warning her of the constitutional violation she's committing by blocking Twitter users because she disagrees with their views and criticism.
A federal appeals court ruled last month that Trump cannot block users on Twitter, despite it being through his personal @realdonaldtrump handle, because the digital platform is viewed as a public forum for officials. The account is used"to conduct official business and to interact with the public," the court ruled, rendering the president unable to bar the general public from accessing the information he disseminates. The Knight Institute represented the plaintiffs in the case.
One exception for lawmakers to block users, DeCell explained, would be if threats were made to Ocasio-Cortez on the platform. Still, the burden would be on the lawmaker to prove that is the case.
