ACLU tells Utah members of Congress to stop blocking people on social media
“Complaints from Utahns in recent months about being blocked on Facebook and Twitter — specifically aimed at Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, and Rep. Mia Love, R-Utah — prompted the letters, the ACLU of Utah said. “You and your office(s) have embraced social media as a key means of communicating and interacting with constituents and the public,” according to the letters posted on the ACLU website. “Because your social media pages are a public forum, your blocking of these individuals is an unconstitutional restriction on their right to free speech under the First Amendment.”
