`A public forum is a place that has, by tradition or practice, been held out for general use by the public for speech-related purposes.
To determine which of the standards of student expression applies in a given case, many courts first conduct a "public forum analysis." The public forum analysis determines whether individuals may have access to places for communicative purposes.1
There are three types of public forums:
I. 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.`
if trump is not the president, in terms of the government position, at all times. Then what is stopping him from prevent people going to an open public form? so long as its done as Trump and with his own resources, not those of the government or in official government capacity
You need to post the other two, Twitter is not a traditional public forum.
The twitter thing is complete nonsense
Twitter has traditionally been censorious.
someone got salty af that Trump blocked them
thats all there is to it
^ ^ ^
Pretty much.
They were making money off of their promotion from countertweeting trump
Bess Kalb, All the way down.
I doubt it was so much “salt” as much as they saw it personally advantageous for their Brand
As an aspiring twitter journo
@RyeNorth i am not talking about twitter atm, but to your point that Trump is not representative of the government or wield government power at all time. I'm asking when does his actions cross the line from private citizen to government official?
Twitter is id; expect nonsense
and yes, its clear someone was salty
There is @POTUS and then there is Trump's personal twitter accoutn
I mean the line of him not being government seemed liek a personal opinion. He is always government until he leaves office.
When he signs a bill into law
when he drafts and signs an executive order
it takes neither of these to block someone on twitter
Twitter blocking is a privilege to all
okay, so he can block people from entering an open public form, so long as its done with his own private resources, not the government/
You're basing this around the argument that his twitter is an open public forum.
You have yet to establish this, other than pointing at an activist ruling.
Twitter is not a public forum
twitter is a private company
twitter can delete Trump account, or block ppl on his behalf
@Ivanfr this ruling doesn't do anything to change that. it only dictates what the government can do, not twitter
they can do anything they want
Donald Trump's twitter is not the government.
This is your statement, and i am asking at what point does his private actions cross a line and become government actions because of their nature or intent
Twitter can sell the company to China
xD
Your argument HINGES on proving that Twitter is an open public forum.
and your counter argument hinges on trump not always being president while in office
so, can trump order a private security firm, with his own money, to block people from going to a public forum.
not necessarily twitter
