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

ur taxes didnt fund twitter

Part of my point.

and yes the president has the right to use private services

Which leads to #2 and #3

It's annoying anyway since blocking doesn't hinder public discussion, just easy the reference

How can Twitter be a private service, with a constitutionally protected public service within it?

so, the president can use his personal twitter to talk about his positions on things, which, since he is the president, is also the POTUS position, but depending on which one he uses, he can block people out of the conversation?

Absolutely!

he can block anyone in any account

unless there is now a law about @POTUS

He's not using @potus

He's using @realdonaldtrump

well but assume he was

oh, good. So lets block all political opposition, stop using @potus, and stop providing any other forms of press release

it wouldnt matter in my opinion

He hasn't done that.

but he can

@Grenade123 sure, what is the problem with that?

well, could

Then it becomes the official form of communication, which makes it a problem

FOIA would wreck him if he tried.

I don't believe the president is REQUIRED to give press releases, anyway.

It is not the official form of communication

he is still appearing on TV and all that

perhaps. or maybe they would jsut declare his private twitter the new offical potus account and we are back to here

official in what sense @Grenade123

in the sense that twitter itself recognises it as verified?

idk, what makes @potus official?

nothing as far as I know

That's what you're trying to argue.

apart from Twitters word

@RyeNorth actually, you are the one that drew a distinction between @potus and trumps account. i did not.

they are both voices of the president

well @POTUS does belong to the govt

it is passed from one president to another

so I guess it is official in some sense

or, well, one is the voice of the president, the other is of his poor PR team

someone said my name?

Have you considered that the tone Trump takes in his twitter, it's more of a direct line to the people who voted for him?

His Twitter is for the sake of his supporters, at the expense of his detractors.
