Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez says there are health risks associated with Facebook—and that's why she's decided to stop using her account.

Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez listens during the House Oversight and Reform Committee hearing in the Rayburn House Office Building on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C., Feb. 27, 2019.

"There are amplified impacts for young people, particularly under the age of 3 with screen time," she toldOcasio-Cortez described her separation from Facebook as a "big deal" because the platform was crucial to her campaign. Her ability to effectively use social media prompted her to host a jam-packed Twitter training session for other members of Congress in January.

"The top tip, I think, is really to be yourself and to really write your own tweets so that people know it’s you talking," Ocasio-Cortez told ABC News after emerging from class in January.

admits she has saddle burns on her back

I got rid of my Facebook account 3 years ago and it was the best thing that I could have done.

This is the first time AOC has said anything sensible!

Can’t fix stupid

She isn’t wrong. I gave it up years ago.

I got out when the Russians troll farms were using FB to sow hate and division!

Especially emotional health. And your personal data is sold without your permission,

Well, she spreads fear, anxiety, & negativity so her Facebook probably reflected that...

Awwww well that's a win for Facebook!

Wait till she finds out that Facebook owns Instagram.

The only health risk is that people were showing how idiotic her words were and she didn't want to hear it.

She can’t take the heat

That's ok, everytime she opens her incompetent mouth, she provides 'ammunition ' against her.

YES, all of the disinformation makes people stupid...I agree... DeleteFacebook

Reality must scare the crap out if her....

The suburbanite, bartender, congress person doctor. lol It never ends.

AGREE... MORE GOSSIP THAN ANYTHING.... VERY UNHEALTHY

Next resign!!

She uses so many accounts daily. Can you see the irony ? Call her on it ! Stop being so one sided.

Especially when you make millions angry

Silly bar maid blaming FB .

AOC Is a health risk to herself

... but NOT Twitter or Instagram.... She is such a poser

Someone should tell her that she can make her Facebook private and only let friend and family see her silly comments.

Her handlers must have told her to stop using Facebook.

OMG! Facebook melts snowflakes?

Must be getting hot in the kitchen..........

Did she Tweet this?

I’ve been Facebook free for 3 months now

Huh

I'd be willing to bet she got tied of being put in her place on Facebook! Her idiotic posts are beyond ridiculous!

I completely agree.

I’ve seen a farting cow on Facebook so I understand what AOC is talking about!

AOC you did right , facebook is a true spy of the World I warned ppl about this years ago , so now follow back boi

And wy we should care of what she thinks

Fall in the same stream...pulled Facebook last year. Full of mediocrity.

Who’s still using Facebook?

Baaaaaaaaaaaaajajajajaja, and Twitter Instagram isn't? She's so in love with herself that she won't get off from FB

& instagram

Facebook is harmful

She can drive a Republican crazy.

I guess you can consider numerous death threats a health risk.

Ground breaking bombshell news!

Pelosi told her to tone it down.

I quit that hellscape over 2 yrs ago. . . and have not, nor desire to, look back.

The label being applied to AOC reads 'Continued Exposure to This Fool Is Dangerous to Your Health.'

Yay

Such nonsense

🤔😳

Already learning how to lie like a bag of feces to the American people. That didn't take long. Kinda like the like potus told denying anything wikilinks...these politicians wake up lying. onestandard4all

Crazy is a health risk

She should really try flint Mich water

foot in mouth is why she stopped.

Good riddance angry one!

Yes it is called your mental illness coming out of the closet

YEAH!!!

That’s a lie, if that were the case she would get off of Twitter

But that doesn't apply to Twitter 😂

Agreed

Ginfear_ shes got ur energy. Everytime I see her she reminds me of u lol shes a bad ass

I think she should step up her social media use......IT'S GREAT ENTERTAINMENT!!!!!

Good for you

Ah some one should tell her that no one can give her a health risk except herself! Blaming Facebook for not being able to cope with using social media, well it is not their fault but the thought of the user ....

Same here...fb is draining

Well for someone who thinks climate change is responsible for the illegal immigrant problem what else can you expect?

Anything in excess Is no good and like anything else that isn't good for one in mass quantities like chocolate cake folks must discipline themselves when engaging with FB and not stay on it for hours at a time all the time.

One thing we agree on. This will never happen again.

I know everytime I see her on Facebook ... my blood pressure goes through the roof...so I will definitely be healthier without having to see CRAZY EYES .... SPEWING HER HATE AND CRAP...if she could now just crawl under a rock 😊

Vibration from the screen has a hazard to your eyes which pentatonic waves to the brain causing delusional episodes . ... which AOC Must be experiencing . ...

She's probably worried about popping her last brain cell

You will need it when you're seeking to come back to the Congress again.

She would know!!

hiding

Oh really ?

Health risks Tf

And who cares?

Well, might be one thing she actually got right. There’s a strong correlation between the number of friends (the more one has) on facebook and potential for suicide.

And now she needs to quit twitter

She believes that people actually press their faces into books and then post those contaminated book pages online where you can then be infected by the face germs.

Too late for her!!!

Yup! Stalker risk! Get out of Facebook

how many ridiculous remarks does a legislator get before someone says to sit down and stop talking

Yeah it’s making her dumber by the day

That explains her brain damage.

better than that nasty windmill cancer going round !! rather get measles or pox !! that is catchy and hip. all the cool kids are doing it !!

Judging from her performance in the House, I'd say it's too late for her to recoup the mental health she's lost.

Seriously?

Well my I Q. has suffered since having to deal with lazysheep and idiots on social media. I guess ignorance of them was bliss.

Agreed, I gave up Facebook and I have less stress, frustration and a lack of care for things that were never truly important in my life.

🙈🙈🙈

Can you stop using all social media?!

Yeah, right

Thought she was still using MySpace

The only health issue I can imagine with AOC is a mental health issue.

Very funny. Keep laughing. And while you all are making fun of AOC, each cow fart brings us just a little bit closer to the end of the world. As someone who knows how much cows fart, I would actually guess 10 years over AOC’s conservative 12 years.

Someone tell her the same risks are associated with using twitter

She is a health risk! I dry heave every time she opens her mouth

You are the health risk we face everyday. I've never met an illiterate as bad as this AOC! People are really stupid or too smart for your attics. One song wonder period. Get that?

We're all going to be dead in 12 yrs, so...😂🤣

What are the health risks? Your crazy statements & ideas?

naw, she has dirt in there.

She’s an f’ing genius 🤪

She so damn fine 😍

You got me again, AOCpress

Is she insane?

That why she went to Instagram so she can show off her drunk shows.

Sort of like getting cancer from wind farms? ...Sorry...could not resist.

Jeez, now she’s a health advocate. Can’t wait to have her weigh in on mental health! After that, airline delays.

Bummer, she should prob stop using her twitter account then too. 🤞🏼

I feel you. Ever since I gave up Facebook I've felt much better.

I always take my scientific advice from a bartender..

AOC the doctor!

20 years from now they will look at that 57-0 vote on the green new deal with shame

That and it contributes to global warming! We should ban Facebook!

Love all the MAGA tears she creates

Yep, might be Facebook dancing and fall off a roof.

Who still uses Facebook? It's garbage.

AOC says Facebook causes health issues and Trump says windmills cause health issues. What has the world come to.

Crabs?

The truth is everyone was reminding her of how dumb she is—- she couldn’t take it. Now if she would just do twitter........

lol

There is nothing but Fake people and Fake News on facebook

No it’s because if she posts , we see what a moron she is.

Please, she needs to be out of the spotlight period. She has nothing to offer anyone.

You do you. I like jt

To much information from everyone is bad for your mental health

Not to menthion the OPSEC risks.
