Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez sued by people she blocked on Twitter - https://www.engadget.com/2019/07/10/alexandria-ocasio-cortez-sued-by-people-blocked-on-twitter/
@Wetrix Yep, it has been coming. The prez got sued for blocking, court ruled that public officials can't block people. Now every single american politician is going to get fucked. Also there's a new question about whether Twitter can block people while government officials use the site. It is a brave new world we live in.
@Wetrix Well if a government official used Mastodon they would probably face the same problem haha. I agree, it is nuts. The concept makes sense at first glance, but then you think about it and it doesn't hold water.
@mister_monster brave new world? Not sure about that lol 😂
It's just insane that they've ruled that politicians and public figures blocking people violates the constitution of America.
It blows my mind. 🌎🙄😳
@mister_monster it's just so insane that it's gotten to the point where people can sue you for blocking them on Twitter of all things.
Just makes me that much more glad I left Twitter behind for mastodon.
