If they're a "public forum" then how the frick can they decide who gets to talk and who doesn't?
Twitter, as a whole, is not a public forum. Trump, by using his twitter account as a forum for Presidential communication, created a public forum specific to his account.
Also, it should be noted that the ruling did not come with an injunction requiring Trump to unblock users. Instead it was “declaratory relief”.

Pretty sure that decision was specific to government entities on Twitter IIRC.
When tweeting during personal time, how are his tweets part of a public entity?

The judge says otherwise. They can't have their cake and eat it too.

Yes, but that judge ruled he uses his personal one for POTUS business.
Did she provide examples to substantiate that ridiculous claim?

But he mixes personal and governmental business on his personal account. That's the premise for the ruling.

It was a pretty hit topic here when it happened a few months ago. I'd imagine there were examples.

The judge did not say otherwise actually. The snippet in the OP is intentionally misleading.

No.
She didn't.

Twitter can do as they please, but government entities on Twitter cannot.
So any government "entity" cannot block anyone on Twitter?

This actually has a lot more repercussions for Twitter than anyone else... including Trump.

Trump hasn't unblocked anyone.

So he can block anyone when not referring to "government business"?

Is he never going to use it for governmental business again?

Why does this judge disagree?

I wasn't referring to Trump.

Seems like Alex Jones could use that ruling to his advantage on FB and YouTube.

I don't understand what your point is supposed to be.

Why is this any different than Trump restricting the people in attendance at his speaking engagements?
