Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez quits Facebook, calls social media ‘a public health risk’

[WTF2008]

She's not wrong at all. Good on her for trying to improve herself. As a politician you are certainly handicapping your ability to sell yourself and win elections without social media which means she's taking a serious risk. Just look at our Twitter president

She wouldn't even exist without social media.

 

[WTF2008]

The orange one says some dumb stuff everyday does not come with death threats like AOC faces. Not surprising she's quitting she likely scared to death. People stalking her latest some arrested in front of her office leaving a death threat. So much for free speech.



While Trump brags about his building being the tallest post 9/11 like right after.

But "some people" did that.
Meanwhile we have "some people" celebrating Notre Dame being on fire, in Paris?
Weird.

It's amazing how triggered you guys are by a video of her dancing in college when the guy you love goes on twitter and is like "Dwah, why dontcha drop water with da planes onto da big church?!"

It's amazing that you ignore all the "immigrants" in the city celebrating the burning of Notre Dame.

You're ridiculous.

She benefited from it to garner support. She's staying away from it because people could use it against her too. That and she's not really bright.

Great rebuttal. You're really good at tackling the issues hill of CNN.

She's not wrong. Social media is pure garbage.

Seeing lots of this kind of stuff on my Facebook feed and Twitter.

Because apparently you can't value a historic building AND the lives of non-whites at the same time.

They're mutually exclusive. Either you're sad about the Notre Dame Cathedral burning down and you hate black people and think their lives don't matter, or you're happy it burned down and respect non-white lives.

They voted on a resolution on the need to create a green new deal.

And no one voted for it.

I'm guessing the death threats got too much.
Republicans have no shame. Harassment of all kinds is part of the GOP platform.

 

[woodguyatl]

Would she be where she is today without social media though?

No, and she said so.

And no one voted for it.

This is of course the key point which he is adamantly refusing to acknowledge, while then ridiculing others for not dealing with issues substantively.

Serious question, which Republicans have threatened her life?

 

[Sakurabaism]

Sadly she is right whether her reasons are honest or not is irrelevant. Now let's make forums great again!

 

[Liquid Smoke]

Quits Facebook. Makes a big deal about it online...

 

[Seano]

What, no more wine fueled rants from AOC to look forward to?

 

[Seano]

Oh, and once again AOC is 100% spot on the money. Social media is cancerous, especially facebook. It IS a public health risk.

She is right but she's only taking this stance because she regularly makes a fool of herself on social media. Social media is just the voice of the masses, but with out any morality. Its an honest view of how a lot of people see her. Instead of ignoring it, she should figure out how she's doing it wrong.

I feel like she's failing herself yet again just like her childrens book company.
