Rep. AOC, who personally gave up Facebook, says 'social media poses a public health risk to everybody.' “I've started to kind of impose little rules on myself...'
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., who rocketed to prominence because of her social media savvy, also acknowledges that social media platforms pose a “public health risk to everybody.”
“I personally gave up Facebook, which was kind of a big deal because I started my campaign on Facebook. And Facebook was my primary digital organizing tool for a very long time. I gave up on it,” said Ocasio-Cortez, whose campaign still has an account on the social media platform but who mostly uses Instagram and Twitter to connect with her followers.
Facebook, Twitter and other tech giants have faced growing criticisms of their platforms around public safety. Last week, their executives met on Capitol Hill for a House Judiciary Committee hearing scrutinizing the spread of white nationalism and hate speech through social media platforms. Sen. Elizabeth Warren has offered a wide-ranging plan to address the excessive power wielded by the internet giants.
