Or weight them as Twitter sees fit?

in theory, yes.

More like the reasoning that led to that judgement. How long before it can be used against anyone ekse?

however, i think this ruling means that the government cannot take down twitter for any reason, even that new sex trafficking law

what do you mean

It's the rule of invention

any time you create a new weapon

that weapon can be used against you.

A precedent of sorts. The ruling may only apply to trump for now. But the reasoning could be used in the future against other govt officials in the us

idk how this is exactly much of a weapon

"hey, you can't block people. which means you'll see a lot more annoying people responding to you"

the narrative being pushed is that this is promoting the first amendment.

I remember the articles being run with interviews early on though

really, there is no reason a government official should be blocking someone. its just bad optics all around, regardless of how justified it might be

They were talking about how the president being able to block was stifiling journos who were trying to make a name for themselves in Trump's twitter replies.

yes, and he can ignore them and call them fake news like he does at a news conference

Is this a bad thing all around though?

its not really much of anything, tbh.

I mean, the first amendment is the right to speak, not the right to be heard wherever you choose.

Dosent help that some of these so called journalists are making a living of peddling this shite. They tried this before with trump interfering with their livelyhood since they get all their traffic from there.

You have a link to teh ruling on hand?

yes, but can you reply to tweets of people who have you blocked?

That is not the presidential twitter page.

This is Donald Trump's own twitter page.

i mean, it is. At what point while being POTUS, is trump not POTUS?

yes, its not the official white house presidential twitter. but it is the presidents twitter

It's Donald Trump's twitter.

Trump just happens to be the president.

He does not use that twitter to make state addresses.

yes, so while he is president, he counts as the government

He's got several other established medium for that.

So, does a Judge count as the government as well?

Congressman? Senator? Mayor? Sheriff? Dog Catcher?

At what point do we draw the line between someone being an individual in power

and someone being the power they hold?

That was my question

I have NEVER considered the president of the United States to be the government.

Was wondering if they made it clear where it stops in the ruling

I have considered them to be the custodian of it.

This judgement is reaching.

If the president uses his privilege to broadcast a message over the television
