AOC defends blocking people on Twitter: 'Harassment is not a viewpoint'
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez defended her decision to block certain Twitter users after the Knight First Amendment Institute at Columbia University urged her not to block people based on their “viewpoints.”
In January, the Caller, a right-wing news site, published an explicit photo of a woman who was not Ocasio-Cortez, along with a misleading headline that did not clearly state it was not the lawmaker in the photo. The publication later said it regretted the headline and changed it. — Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez August 29, 2019 The Knight First Amendment Institute, which works to defend freedom of speech in the digital age, issued a letter to Ocasio-Cortez in hopes of “dissuading” her from blocking Twitter users due to their “views.” The institute argued that Ocasio-Cortez uses her personal account as “an extension” of her formal office.
Ocasio-Cortez, who represents New York’s 14th Congressional District, addressed the institute’s letter in another tweet from her personal account on Thursday.
