Judge Naomi Reice Buchwald, of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, said President Trump's Twitter account is a public forum and blocking people who reply to his tweets with differing opinions constitutes viewpoint discrimination, which violates the First Amendment.

Except it’s his own fricking twitter account.

Pretty decent con law exam fact pattern if you ask me

Is this real? So, twitter is violating the US Constitution by having that as an option?!?
Posted on 5/23/18 at 12:35 pm to rds dc
I would assume this would include any government employee or branch that has a twitter page?

Violates viewpoints protected by the first amendment because his account is a public forum, huh? Now let’s see that same standard applied to publicly funded universities like Cal Berkeley silencing anyone with a conservative perspective

I think their point is that it's not just anyone's twitter account

Me thinks that the left is not going to like the logical progression that flows from this decision.

Need a link. Is this the Onion? No way this is a real opinion.

Yeah, that’s a dumb ruling, I wonder if it’s fake? It’s his account....

This had already been ruled on. If a politician is using their personal social media account for ANY official reason, they can't block citizen's access.
I posted this story about a month ago, but Bernie Sanders blocked me on Facebook. I emailed his office with a link to the previous ruling and told him that he would be sued if he didn't unblock me. I was unblocked within 24 hours.

I’d say the judge has made her ruling, now let her try and enforce it.

Yoiu mean this isn't some constitution violating judge the trumpkins can get enraged about?
How about that.

Exactly and because of that I troll the shite out of some local officials here

Exactly. It's going to open a can of worms. If the Internet is now governed by the 1st, then Google, YouTube, FB are going to be in a world of hurt. They're going to have to scrap all censorship and shadow banning algorithms, etc.
