July 10, 20197 yr Active Members You are all now blocked from my Twitter account. How come Trump can't block people, AOC cannot block people, but I can? Easy! I don't have a Twitter account! But seriously, we can block people here by putting them on the ignore list. Why can't Twitter people block anyone they want?
July 11, 20197 yr Active Members You are allowed to block people on twitter. The issue with Trump and AOC is not the twitter part, but what they use twitter for. Apparently the court ruled that since they are elected officials and they use their twitter accounts to conduct "official business" to communicate their agendas to their constituents, the comment section of twitter essentially becomes a "public forum." Elected officials are not allowed to block individuals from expressing opinions on public forums under the First Amendment. That's my understanding of the Appellate court ruling.
