FILE - In this Wednesday, Sept. 17, 2014 file photo, Alabama Republican state Rep. John Merrill poses for portrait in Montgomery, Ala. Twitter users blocked by Merrill sued him Wednesday, Sept. 19, 2018, arguing he’s blocking their right to free speech in the “modern day town square.” The lawsuit contends that Merrill is putting a “viewpoint-based restriction” to information about, and interaction with, his public office. The three plaintiffs said Merrill had blocked them from his Twitter account “because of opinions they expressed or questions they asked.” (AP Photo/Brynn Anderson,File)
