The list can be screenshots or a printout of https://twitter.com/settings/blocked

Response Notes

Responsive to this request, the screenshot below indicates there are no blocked accounts on HCPSS’ official Twitter account @HCPSS. 

Additionally, as a personal social media account of Dr. Martirano, the @mjmsuper Twitter account does not fall within the purview of the Maryland Public Information Act. UPDATED RESPONSE: Based upon new information and a re-examination of the applicability of the MPIA to the joint public-private use of the account in this instance, we have re-considered our response: Responsive to this request, no accounts are currently blocked by the @mjmsuper Twitter account. While Dr. Martirano indicates accounts have been previously blocked, there are no responsive records available as the Twitter interface only tracks the current status of blocked accounts.
