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

in #politics6 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.

Sort:  

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.
