could the US gov make their own "Twitter"?

When I was younger I thought it would be a good idea if countries could settle their differences by having their leaders play chess instead of going to war. Save lives and you elect the smartest person to the top. I wonder if this can be moved on to just have AIs beat the fuck out of each other in SC2, best programming wins and we get to watch the most epic games of all time. win win.

you only go to war when all the civilised stuff is over with

if you are civilised enough to play a game of chess... you were never going to war in the first place

We are going to fighting with robots anyway. Why not just cut out the physical stuff and have it all online.

@wacka and I came to realize that you don't have to be smart to be good at chess so that idea fell out pretty quick anyway.

Then countries would blame everything on lag

lol

if the gov made their own social network "Twitter" ... would you trust it?

I personally fear the government less than I fear corporations

At least there's the possibility of control with the government

Would I trust it not to look into my personal messages? no.

Not if the guilt-by-association mentality continues in congress. If Congress becomes ineffective, we'd only have one vote that matters.

From the rooftops?

Anyone want to speculate on what is going to come from the court claiming that Donald Trump cannot block people?

Nothing will come of it.

Not unless they plan on making Twitter a public utility

See, that's just the thing, though.

There are actually a LOT of hypotheticals to consider in this thing.

"U.S. District Judge Naomi Reice Buchwald reasoned in her opinion that Twitter is a designated public forum, so blocking users based on their political speech "constitutes viewpoint discrimination that violates the First Amendment."

This judicial opinion is absolutely LOADED with consequence.

For one thing, does this mean that political viewpoint is a protected class?

Also, if Donald Trump's twitter is a public forum

This would mean that Twitter would have a constitutional duty to unban US citizens who have been banned from the platform, right?
