Who has the burden of proof to verify that a tweeter, or any other social media user, is human or a bot?
Does a bot have the right to an opinion on a subject?

This thread has turned into another reminder of just how stupid so many of you are.
Trump uses his "personal" Twitter to conduct state business (IE pushing for and explaining policies and such), the government can't block our access to such. Trump is the government so ergo...........

If it applies to the President, it would apply to any public official, and any public institution
And not just Twitter, but all social media outlets....

As someone explained above, he hasn’t blocked anyone’s access to his account
Some users may be unable to respond to him, but they can still read his tweets.

Most people here are looking at the unintended applications.

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.
Oh dear.
A bunch of right-wing pundits are about to get paid.

Correct, I've already told my personal incident where Bernie Sanders , or someone who has control of his Facebook, banned me and I emailed his office with a link to a previous ruling and said if he didn't want to be sued he should unblock me, and I was unblocked within 24 hours of sending that email.

Fair enough, but what is the effect on human psychology when a multitude/majority of comments are negative, but said comments are not coming from 1000s of angry constituents, but from a server generating 1000s of random bots with 1000s of randomly negative comments.

People that troll Trump and get blocked by him have achieved their goal and are giddy when it happens. So this judge has denied them their unalienable right to pursue happiness.

Once again this ruling, and the one before it, doesn't mean Twitter can't ban those accounts from having access or outright ban the bots , or misbehaving people, altogether. ALL it means is that government officials can't pick and choose who they allow to see and respond on their social media sites IF they use those sites for any sort of "official" reason. Meaning if you're a local school board member and you never discuss the school board or the school on your private Facebook page, for example, no one can force you to let them post on your page . It's a strictly private page.

Yes you are.
Blocking an idiot from replying/DM'ing to @realDonaldTrump is not the same thing as making @realDonaldTrump tweets private so you can't see them.

When the head of the government uses Twitter for his own political messaging, he’s forfeited the right to control contrary opinion
He essentially turned the account into a public forum
