There are ways of doing so.
You should have a public forum
I mean if u are in a park and somebody answers to everything u say, u can ignore them but not make them shut up
Sure.
But not beeing able to currate your own twitter feed is different
But by giving people the option to block
Twitter gives people agency, establishing that it's NOT an open public space.
That, like in real life, if someone's just taking a shit in your living room, you have the right to kick them out.
u can have a public forum AND more individual agency
Well i take it more as space for comunication with rules set by the politician
is just the way the medium works
If the court is declaring it an open public forum
Then that's news to Twitter.
The IRL equivalent would be headphones that block the voice of a specific person
or something like that
The equivalent is ACTUALLY more like
everyone running around autistically
with pieces of paper
that they scribble their opinions on and shove in people's faces
that's like saying you have the right to see past the scribbles someone's putting in your face.
like some futuristic glasses
It's called the block button
I'm summing up twitter with a real world equivalent
also, dear lord what society do we live in?
Right but IRL is not that u cant block ppl
Right
is that the medium doesnt allow it with the tech we have atm
not the law
but you do have the right to kick someone out of your living room
yea but thats not a public forum
Exactly!
Twitter has more in common with a private venue than a public forum, given the features it allows.
I agree
To say one specific person is not allowed to have those features because reasons is a problem. It has to be blanket to a class.
And truly open.
Think about the consequences to twitter
Which is why Twitter's going to be begging for mercy before it's done with, I predict.
if the lawsuit wins, then what happens to Twitter as a company? they cant touch Trumps account?
It's possible they can't touch anyone's
Or that they will be legally obligated to enact a 'demibanned' state
