BLOOMINGTON, Ind. -- A federal appeals court ruled Monday that President Trump has been violating the Constitution by blocking people who criticize him from following his Twitter account. Now, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is facing two federal lawsuits for blocking Twitter users who were critical of her or her policies. Media law and First Amendment experts at IU Bloomington are available to comment on the implications of the court ruling.
