Congressional Candidate Blocks Reporters on Twitter

By: Andrew Beaujon | Poynter

Congressional candidate Carl DeMaio has blocked on Twitter several journalists who cover him. KPBS reporter Claire Trageser told Poynter she noticed she had been blocked on Friday, which was a couple days before she reported that a second campaign staffer had accused DeMaio of sexual harassment.

If you block someone on Twitter, they can’t follow you, among other indignities.
