Just remember, this now applies to all of them.
That makes sense. Just like they can’t remove unruly people from their offices or from the galleries.

I actually find Twitter much more useful than other social media for knowing what is going on politically. This story showed up on my Twitter feed awhile ago, it’s why I came here to comment.
I don’t use Facebook or Instagram at all now. Just twitter, and mostly for political reasons.
Very useful following journalists and writers, tend to get some interesting insights.
I follow him for the comments. LOL!
Whenever he tweet something, much of it are lies or just him being ill informed about important things, folks on twitter absolutely murders this dude with facts. He does have the DDS (Delusional Defense Squad), but they to get flooded out with the truth, facts along with insults.
He and they can dish it out, but sure can’t take it.

“This case requires us to consider whether a public official may, consistent with the First Amendment, ‘block’ a person from his Twitter account in response to the political views that person has expressed, and whether the analysis differs because that public official is the President of the United States,” the judge said in her opinion.
“The answer to both questions is no.”
Oh well. Maybe he can use Snapchat to take insulting pics of other politicians/investigators/reporters and share them with his crew. That’ll keep the people who want access to the POTUS’s Twitter comments from seeing what he’s really talking about/saying.
This is the most immature/insecure President of our lifetime. Nixon once held that title but he was more mature than Trump.
If that’s the case Twitter should stop showdown banning people when they don’t like their tweets. Or is it only anti Trump people who have freedom of speech rights

Donald still has his Twitter account.

Oh, and Twitter banning people isn’t a first amendment issue.
Ignore ban!
It’s no different than people announcing they are ignoring someone. I guess in their mind it’s some sort of punishment? Weird.

No. Public officials.
Are there examples of other public officials blocking people from their Twitter feeds?

Not that I know of. You think it hasn’t happened.
I don’t know, hence the question.
