Constitution Wins...Trump Loses

Incorrect..peeps can still be banned by Twitter..just not by users based solely upon their political views.

Twitter is a public forum...thus the judge has ruled the first amendment rights and protections apply.
It's not just a first amendment issue, it's also the right of "the people" to be informed on how our government is conducting business in our names.

Trump broke new ground when he chose to use a public social media site to conduct some of the people's business.
 
Trump can't block users from his Twitter feed, federal judge rules

free speech..it's a thing:

"President Donald Trump cannot block Twitter users for the political views they have expressed, a federal judge in Manhattan ruled on Wednesday.

Blocking users from viewing his Twitter account — a feature offered by the social media platform — is unconstitutional and a violation of the First Amendment, Judge Naomi Reice Buchwald wrote in her ruling.

"While we must recognize, and are sensitive to, the President’s personal First Amendment rights, he cannot exercise those rights in a way that infringes the corresponding First Amendment rights of those who have criticized him," Buchwald wrote.

The government had argued that blocked individuals could still access the president’s tweets. The judge agreed but said that even considering the president's First Amendment rights, preventing users from interacting directly with him on Twitter represented a violation of a "real, albeit narrow, slice of speech.""
Its amusing and cute you think President Trump is going to give a shit what a libtard judge thinks about HIS twitter account. Oh and since its free speech when is Twitter,YouTube,FaceBook etc gonna stop censoring conservatives?

Hmmmm...twitter can censor...and everybody else can block whomever they please for any reason..

But the President of the US must be prevented from blocking the trolls and stalkers that insult and attack him on twitter.

He can mute them..in fact, the judge recommended just that..but he cannot block them..because he is the President..our leader...and we have the right to access his official record. He has claimed that it is..and now he's stuck with the consequences.

Nonsense. He is a president but he's still an individual. He doesn't have to give up his individual rights just because he's a president.

But I know anti-individual rights regressives won't agree...
 
Because no one knows what Trump Tweets...


You're right.

The drama queen in Mar A Lago North makes sure he's constant delusional twits are so stupid, so outrageous, so utterly un-America will get played and replayed. He's actually quite talented at being the queen bee.

Also true is that he will continue to attack the constitution. We have never before had a "president" as hostile to basic rights as trump is. OTOH, he has not one clue what's in the US Constitution.
Just as long as he's driving batshit ideologues insane.
Because, you see, Trump is driving neo-Cons up the wall just as much as he's driving Liberals up the wall.
And I approve...because ideologues are inane assholes.

Access is different than publicly responding.

After the case runs its way to the high court, it will be decided that the account belongs to the POTUS and he can block those he deems unfit. Just like you can.

Yup.

Yes, except he's using the Twitter platform to tweet about "the people's" business that he's conducting as POTUS. HE's the one who set precedence on this.
That doesn't mean everyone has a right to use his platform. They can use their own to respond.

Bullshit. The president has NO OBLIGATION TO LISTEN TO THE HECKLERS.You have a right to "speak." Nobody is obligated to listen.
 
Because no one knows what Trump Tweets...
It's not the knowing..it's the right to reply--which you would have known..had you read the link--but why would you, right?

So now no one can be banned from Twitter because everyone has the right to reply to the tweets of public figures?

Twitter cannot moderate their own forums?
Incorrect..peeps can still be banned by Twitter..just not by users based solely upon their political views.

Twitter is a public forum...thus the judge has ruled the first amendment rights and protections apply.

if Twitter is a public forum then even the owner of that forum cannot ban people for political reasons.

Again, this judge should be thanked by conservatives because she just declared social media sites part of a new digital commons.

You'll have nothing more than crickets with this one.

So does that mean Twitter now has to allow everyone onto their platform regardless of their political views or posting content?
No...i think it means that no one can ban users from responding to their tweets..unless they can prove egregious abuse.

What about people who are banned from twitter? They can't reply to the tweets, is Twitter now responsible for letting them back on?

How can only Twitter approved users have 1st amendment rights?
Dunno..ask the judge?

I doubt she thought beyond "fuh fuh fuh I can screw over Trump and be the darling of the Chevy Chase dinner parties, fuh fuh fuh"
 
Blocking a twit from posting to your own private account on social media is not preventing said twit from voicing his opinions on his own account so there is no violation of the first amendment.

Lol! Just as you failed to debate statutes, you are also grossly uniformed about the Constitution as well.
If Trump can't block people no one can (did you hear that Jake?)...but do not fear this will be challenged and over ruled....
By who? Total ignoramuses to the Constitution?

This is a far more clear topic, not your "trump brokes the lawszes!" screed.

The judge is a Clinton appointee with an axe to grind. I doubt it will clear an appeal, but until then now every government twitter account has to remove its ban list, and twitter can no longer ban people based on political speech, as the judge has declared twitter a "public forum"

Dig up my previous post on social media being a new form of digital commons for my views on this.
 
Donald turned his personal account into an outlet for governmental actions and communications. He announced major policy plans, he fired administration staff through Twitter, he has said he prefers Twitter as his means to communicate with his constituents. By blocking people, he is taking averse actions against citizens in his official capacity as President to silence their dissent.
 
But Trump is using the services of a private organization that isn't necessarily governed by the Constitution. Private organizations are corporate entities upon themselves, essentially defined by law as people. How can Trump be violating anyone's first amendment rights when Twitter gave him the ability to block people following his account in the first place?

This ruling is flawed.

Exactly, so now nobody can block anyone or ignore someone like they can do here.
