Twitter blocked me from following anybody 4 days ago

fml

Oh I had to give my phone twice

and after that they made my twitter unusable for no reason

probably because I follow conservatives

The twitter thing is complete nonsense

someone got salty af that Trump blocked them

thats all there is to it

There is @POTUS and then there is Trump's personal twitter accoutn

Twitter is not a public forum

twitter is a private company

twitter can delete Trump account, or block ppl on his behalf

they can do anything they want

Twitter can sell the company to China

xD

@Grenade123 I dont think even the secret service can block u from being on an open forum

unless they arrest u

@Grenade123 then u can take legal action against them

or just refuse

and maybe they will assault you

but then u sue them

then its not a public forum

obviously private land is not a open public forum

I can ban anyone from my house

in the word "public"

which is the opposite of "privaet"

No private land is this " been held out for general use by the public for speech-related purposes."

by definition

a local coffee shop can ban whoever they want

they cant say "is because he is black, or because he is from X religion"

but they can say "we ban him because we want"

I dont think it applies to the internet

So when he has sex with his beautiful wife, its the whole country thats doing it

xDD

I think the Internet doesnt obey by those rules

those rules are for IRL

like in Radio and TV, nobody has the right to appear in those platforms

tbh we have no proof Trumps twitter account belongs to trump

it could be me

Im just pointing out that it makes no sense to consider twitter an open public forum, and if u do a million crazy loopholes appear

hundreds if not thousands of twitter employees could manipulate Trumps account

to tweet what they want

to delete it

etc

Say twitter is sold to a Russian company

now what

XD

Twitter is never an official way of communication from the govt to you

it is a lil treat

if u wanna use it u use it if not u dont have to

but you have the right to do so

Twitter is not a public forum

is a private company

is a communication service

Twitter is a dictatorship

the company does whatever they want, period.

can u link me to that definition

because I dont think it talks about virtual worlds

it talks about land

well not private one anyway

and twitter is private virtual "land"

If twitter is a public forum then my living room is too

look, no company can block u from being in a park, but twitter can block u from being in twitter

thats the difference right there

If the govt had a official twitter-like platform then it would be different

A "traditional", or "open, public forum" is a place with a long tradition of freedom of expression, such as a public park or a street corner. The government can normally impose only content-neutral time, place, and manner restrictions on speech in a public forum. Restrictions on speech in a public forum that are based on content will be struck down, unless the government can show the restriction is necessary to further a compelling governmental interest.

that is a description

not the cause of it being a open public forum

legal Definition of open forum
: a government property that is opened to the public for expressive activities of any kind — compare limited public forum

I found this definition in a website that is like a dictionary for lawyers

the problem is we need the exact legal definition

all of the legal definitions im seeing say that the forum must belong to the government

no, twitter does

I have no right to my twitter account, I just hope twitter lets me use it

I havent paid for ity

it*

and im pretty sure when I accepted the ToS it says that I dont own shit and twitter are the supreme god of their virtual land

Tesla or SpaceX cant suffer legal consequences for what Elon Musk says in his private life

give me an example

I wonder if Trump deleted Obama's tweets from the @POTUS account

and unfollowed HIllary Clinton

😄

Rule #1 dont live in a place that u dont own

well u own it as much as u can

I havent seen such land

I mean u can go to the jungle with a gun and claim land

Just because a President uses a service, that doesnt make the service propierty of the govt

ur taxes didnt fund twitter

and yes the president has the right to use private services

he can block anyone in any account

unless there is now a law about @POTUS

well but assume he was

it wouldnt matter in my opinion

@Grenade123 sure, what is the problem with that?

It is not the official form of communication

he is still appearing on TV and all that

official in what sense @Grenade123

in the sense that twitter itself recognises it as verified?

nothing as far as I know

apart from Twitters word
