RE: Judge rules Trump can’t block people, what does this mean for twitter going forward?

in #politics • 7 years ago

I don’t think the logic follows in that way.

Trump is making Twitter into a public square by using it for communication from the president of the us. Twitter is not the public square without this public (governmental) use.

In a similar way just because a newspaper reports on a government news story doesn’t mean that they are required by the first amendment to publish your letter to the editor.

    Ok but as long as the president is using it as his primary means of communication, being banned from twitter is just as much a “violation” as being blocked by trump, it amounts to the same thing.

    Hmm, maybe.

    I think that would only be the case if you got banned from twitter for or while talking with a governmental figure.

    We should just convince trump to use twitter and the whole problem gets solved.
