SPOTLIGHT: Censoring constituents online gains popularity

Last week, U.S. District Judge Naomi Reice Buchwald ruled against
the Trump Administration in a suit filed by Columbia University
over the president’s practice of blocking Twitter users. The
university argued that American citizens have the right to be
free to express their views to elected officials. Blocking users
on a social media website simply because their views run counter
to the president’s is undemocratic, the suit argued.


Black Box reporter Kathleen Sturgeon talked with the Legal
Director for the ACLU of Georgia, Sean J. Young, to talk about
what local implications there might be as a result of the
ruling.
