ETA link to story. Trump can't block on Twitter We hold that portions of the @realDonaldTrump account -- the “interactive space” where Twitter users may directly
engage with the content of the President’s tweets -- are properly analyzed under the “public forum” doctrines set forth by the Supreme Court, that such space is a designated public forum, and that the blocking of the plaintiffs based on their political speech constitutes viewpoint discrimination that violates the First Amendment.

Lol
Twitter is private, it is their call if they want to allow it. |
|
That only applies to the official White House / Office of the President account and not his personal Donald Trump account, right?
|

Well if that's the case, I had my first amendment rights violated by the local Sheriff when I (politely) criticized him on facebook

Is this going to work out like that judge thinks it will considering the extent to which twitter, fb, etc. censor the right? What's he saying? That social media are public fora where speech can't be restricted?

Does that ruling extend to other social media? That could get far reaching and really be used to put a crimp in the leftist agenda. See Youtube banning gun channels.

View Quote The 1A protects people from actions of the government which limit speech. Trump/Fed. Gov. isn't making a law about what critics can say. Trump/Gov. isn't preventing critics from speaking to people who want to listen. Trump/Gov isn't taking any punitive action against critics, Trump is just ignoring them. Would be curious to see how the judge would respond to Trump blocking no one but turning off all Twitter notifications. If Trump merely tweets and never looks at the responses/notifications, it has the same effect as selective blocking. Is this judge going to magically require Trump to read all of the Twitter responses? Judges should stick to law and not engage in fiction writing from the bench. |

Nope. Claiming 1st amendment - if it holds than no politician should be able to block anyone - the 4chan trolls are off the leash View Quote The trolling that is about to unleash should be glorious. A lot of people won't be able to stand the heat and might quit Twitter. A decline in users/usage would be bad for them. |

If the ruling says Twitter is a public forum then all social media is going to become that due to precedent?

Didn't a guy wearing a MAGA hat just get thrown out of a bar recently and the judge ruled it was perfectly ok and not discrimination?

If he gives a speech do critics get equal time onstage?
Dopey stuff. |

POTUS should get a private blog and to Hell with tweeter, bookface, and the rest of the nonsensical platforms.
The sooner they follow AOL and USENET into oblivion the better. |

The argument is about the last part of the 1st amendment: "and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances." Their argument is that blocking people on twitter violates that part. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes |
