The social media behavior of an elected official in San Luis Obispo is being called into question after a number of people say they were blocked from her accounts for disagreeing with her.
In response to a batch of public records requests made in December, Mayor Heidi Harmon submitted screenshots that show 58 accounts were completely blocked from her Facebook page, at least 25 accounts were blocked from her Instagram account and only people she followed on Instagram were allowed to comment on her posts.
