"Let’s see if law enforcement is really going to arrest the president of the united states for blocking users on his PERSONAL twitter account."

It would seem to me that twitter would have ONE POLICY that regulates the ability of a user to block others, not one that carves out special rules for one user, just because he happens to be POTUS.

Equal protection under the tweet, you might say...

If I understood the judges ruling right, she’s not saying that individuals can’t block people on their threads.

She’s basically saying that because Trump holds the Office of President, his use of Twitter makes it a public forum and thus he can’t block people on his.

So no one else except high government officials is affected by her ruling and thus they wouldn’t have standing.

And Twitter isn’t going to help the President out. They’re too busy blocking conservatives.

She’s basically saying that because Trump holds the Office of President, his use of Twitter makes it a public forum and thus he can’t block people on his.

But that public forum characterization has to also apply to all the Reps, Senators, Governors, Attorney Generals, and other elected officials as well as judges and other appointed political officers. It also applies to Candidates for the same offices, and in reality ex-Presidents, Senators, etc.

Does anyone really believe that if President Trump's Twitter feed is a public forum that Rep. Pelosi's isn't?

And by the way, the twitter feeds of police departments, fire departments, school districts, and every other public function are also public forums it seems. So apparently a police department or school can't ban posters on their twitter feed, no matter what the posters publish. Somehow I don't think the judge would rule the same in those cases.

I wonder how many posters @BrowardSheriff has blocked?

That's likely how it's going to be justified.

If so it will have to include every elected official who uses twitter to discuss public policy.

I'm sure there are liberals in office who have banned conservatives posting to their account.

It's time to assert our new-found rights.

Exactly that’s one of the problems with this ruling. There is no clear line between when use of a forum such as Twitter ceases to be private and becomes public.

Another is that there may be reasons to block a user other than criticisms, such as excessive posting, obscene posting, offensive posting (more than just policy criticisms), attacks on family members, etc.

I understand the judge is 74 and may not know much (if anything) about social media.

My question is: does this mean Milo Yiannopoulos can get his Twitter account back and that Twitter can no longer shadow ban him? I hope so!

At your discretion, call judge’s office back and ask for the specific constitutional clause that Pres. Trump would be violating by blocking Twitter followers.

I see a possible silver lining here.

Consider all the Orwellian shadow-banning and Conservative blog discrimination that occurs on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, etc.

If Trump can't block posters from posting "content" to his Twitter account as a matter of it being ruled in Federal Court to be a "public forum" then how much less a public forum is FaceBook, and every other Twitter account?

Under this ruling FaceBook, et. al. should not be allowed to shadow ban and censor Conservative speech which leftists find to be so repulsive on the grounds of asserting private property rights, because if FaceBook is anything, it was always meant to serve as a public forum.

This case may go where the leftist Silicon Valley thought police and control freaks never expected it to go.

FReegards!

*****No he should appeal it.

Trump is not one to ignore the courts. Nor should he as long as the Democrats and the Rinos all want to impeach him.*****

This is the perfect time to ignore a court ruling. If this is what the Democrats choose to hang their impeachment hopes on, more power to them.
