From the Louisville Courier-Journal: 'Sweep out the trash': Bevin blocks thousands on social media and records now detail why

An ongoing federal lawsuit over Gov. Matt Bevin's habit of blocking people on Twitter and Facebook shows the Republican leader has persisted in barring users from accessing his official accounts.
Newly released court records say the number of accounts prohibited from readily viewing Bevin's social media has ballooned from about 600 to nearly 3,000 different users since the Courier Journal reported on his penchant for blocking two years ago.
Bevin would also occasionally order his staff to block people, including one woman for posting unspecified comments on his Facebook pages in early 2018.
