Should politicians (and public figures) be able to block people on their social media accounts if they disagree with their opinions?

Let's say they use their social media accounts for official business related to their position and engaging with their constituents.

Should they be allowed to block people and prevent them from engaging in what could be considered a public forum?

If they are using it for official business, then tough noogins. However, they should be allowed to set up a set of rules, allowing them to block out of scope/topic comments. Just as if it would be, if this was an in person public hearing, otherwise, the value of public comments will be lost in the noise.
