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 executes government-issued power.
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
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
just any open public forum
You just conceded that my argument DOESN'T hinge on that.
Besides
Question: Does free speech require being able to tie your speech as a response to the tweet you are tweeting about in this case?
^ ^ ^ ^ bingo.
why do you keep dodging?
@Grenade123 I dont think even the secret service can block u from being on an open forum
unless they arrest u
No one can legally unless you pose a threat.
the secret service could not legally do it. But a private security contractor might, depending on where the open forum actually is.
He isn't blocking people from going to twitter though
@Grenade123 then u can take legal action against them
or just refuse
