Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) on Thursday defended her right to block people on Twitter, after the Knight First Amendment Institute at Columbia University sent her a letter that urged her not to block people on Twitter on the basis of viewpoint because that is “unconstitutional.”
“I have 5.2 million followers. Less than 20 accounts are blocked for ongoing harassment. 0 are my constituents,” Ocasio-Cortez tweeted, adding, “No one is entitled to abuse.”
