LITTLE ROCK, Ark. – A settlement was reached Tuesday after an activist group accused Arkansas state Sen. Jason Rapert of wrongfully blocking users on his social media accounts.
The state of Arkansas has to pay the American Atheists group $16,000 for bills they incurred during this lawsuit. Rapert was also ordered to unblock the users.
Attorneys claimed that because Rapert is an elected official and part of the government, he does not have the right to block people from his professional pages.
