>A free-speech institute on Tuesday sent a letter to President Donald Trump demanding the prolific tweeter unblock certain Twitter users on grounds the practice violates the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.

>Trump's @realDonaldTrump account recently blocked a number of accounts that replied to his tweets with commentary that criticized, mocked or disagreed with his actions. Twitter users are unable to see or respond to tweets from accounts that block them.

if the account is labeled as "President trump" or has some type of official capacity there might be an argument but it would have to show some harm caused by the blocking other than lost retweets of epic zingers

This is a matter to take up with the head of twitter, not trump.

That's because, contrary to what the message says, it's not a public forum. It's private. And twitter gets to ultimately decide who gets banned and who doesn't.

Blocking somebody has no tangible harm associated with it on Twitter. Even if he was discriminating on protected class grounds it would still require judges to make a buillshit decision. There is no suppression of anything. And it has nothing to do with protected classes anyway, that's bullshit

that's not the case. waiters don't get paid very much by the hour since they're expected to make most of their cash in tips. but servers who bitch about their tips are just entitled losers, it was their choice to get a job where the amount of money you make is based solely on the kindness of your customers.

You idiots are the worst.

Federal minimum wage is federal minimum wage, no exceptions. Some states have a minimum "waiter's wage" that gets paid to waiters and waitresses regardless of what they make in tips but if they make less in tips than federal minimum wage than the employer is required by law to pay you the difference.

Twitter is a public forum? I thought you had to be a member?
All anyone has to do is logout of their account in order to see his tweets. His tweets are public. Blocked people just can't reply or retweet or whatever.
This is so fucking stupid, it hurts.
Apply it to facebook then, too. No private groups. No friends lists. Sign in to facebook, blurt out whatever and everyone on the planet sees it.
1 billion people all talking at once.
Even if I was on twitter, I would have to follow the President in order to see on my timeline what he tweets.

>>
>>128777601

I don't know. I don't know how the court would decide on this. People and their internet its just ridiculous.
Trump should stop tweeting.
What he should do is start that text everyone at once thing that he can do. No replies, no bullshit. Just bam, Trump text. Stuck with it. No avoiding it. I can avoid twitter. I wouldn't be able to avoid a direct text from Trump telling me his power level.
