Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) has made a name for herself for the controversial things that she says on social media.
But on Sunday, she announced she would be giving up Facebook because social media poses a public health risk.
From Daily Caller:
Ocasio-Cortez has used social media significantly to her political advantage thus far, but she announced Sunday in an interview with the Yahoo News podcast Skullduggery that she will no longer be using Facebook, according to WaPo. Her campaign is still running Facebook ads, the Washington Post reports.
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, Ocasio-Cortez said to Yahoo News.

But I think it has a lot of effects on older people. I think it has effects on everybody. Increased isolation, depression, anxiety, addiction, escapism.

Have a total of 3 friends, all by accident cause I didn’t know what I was doing.
Since one was my daughter, I felt too bad to un-friend them
Almost Occasionally Coherent is a public health risk just by being in office.
She should resign.
That face sure is traumatizing.
I have an ex-friend who still wont talk to me after I unfriended her on FB.
The first, and probably only, intelligent thing AOC has done. Maybe she’ll also quit Twit.

Shes making friends with Zuckerberg, too, eh?
i am thinking her lawyers have told her to stay off as she is being investigated for violating campaign finance laws.
Pelosi and her thugs probably held the little brat down and gave her a good talking to
Forced their agenda on her and probably made some deals with her
Good point could be
Huh?!
The Dems loved social media before President Trump came along - he’s the first Repub/Conservative in office that has been able to use it more effectively than them so now they say it ain’t good for one’s mental health...any bets that doesn’t come up soon as an attack on President Trump?
She’s trying to HIDE WHO and WHAT she is:
She’s ignorant, crazy and a rabid COMMUNIST!
Too late, you already told and showed us.

Commies Dont Like Opposition Of Any Kind
