There are ways of doing so.

2018-05-24 06:53:50 UTC  

You should have a public forum

2018-05-24 06:54:01 UTC  

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

2018-05-24 06:54:20 UTC  

Sure.

2018-05-24 06:54:27 UTC  

But not beeing able to currate your own twitter feed is different

2018-05-24 06:54:27 UTC  

But by giving people the option to block

2018-05-24 06:54:45 UTC  

Twitter gives people agency, establishing that it's NOT an open public space.

2018-05-24 06:55:14 UTC  

That, like in real life, if someone's just taking a shit in your living room, you have the right to kick them out.

2018-05-24 06:55:27 UTC  

u can have a public forum AND more individual agency

2018-05-24 06:55:32 UTC  

Well i take it more as space for comunication with rules set by the politician

2018-05-24 06:55:33 UTC  

is just the way the medium works

2018-05-24 06:55:45 UTC  

If the court is declaring it an open public forum

2018-05-24 06:55:54 UTC  

Then that's news to Twitter.

2018-05-24 06:56:04 UTC  

The IRL equivalent would be headphones that block the voice of a specific person

2018-05-24 06:56:07 UTC  

or something like that

2018-05-24 06:56:31 UTC  

The equivalent is ACTUALLY more like

2018-05-24 06:56:35 UTC  

everyone running around autistically

2018-05-24 06:56:43 UTC  

with pieces of paper

2018-05-24 06:56:54 UTC  

that they scribble their opinions on and shove in people's faces

2018-05-24 06:57:27 UTC  

that's like saying you have the right to see past the scribbles someone's putting in your face.

2018-05-24 06:57:41 UTC  

if u have the tech that allows u to do that

2018-05-24 06:57:47 UTC  

like some futuristic glasses

2018-05-24 06:57:48 UTC  

It's called the block button

2018-05-24 06:58:02 UTC  

I'm summing up twitter with a real world equivalent

2018-05-24 06:58:17 UTC  

also, dear lord what society do we live in?

2018-05-24 06:58:22 UTC  

Right but IRL is not that u cant block ppl

2018-05-24 06:58:32 UTC  

Right

2018-05-24 06:58:33 UTC  

is that the medium doesnt allow it with the tech we have atm

2018-05-24 06:58:37 UTC  

not the law

2018-05-24 06:58:41 UTC  

but you do have the right to kick someone out of your living room

2018-05-24 06:58:48 UTC  

yea but thats not a public forum

2018-05-24 06:58:53 UTC  

Exactly!

2018-05-24 06:59:34 UTC  

Twitter has more in common with a private venue than a public forum, given the features it allows.

2018-05-24 06:59:57 UTC  

I agree

2018-05-24 07:00:01 UTC  

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.

2018-05-24 07:00:07 UTC  

And truly open.

2018-05-24 07:00:20 UTC  

Think about the consequences to twitter

2018-05-24 07:00:26 UTC  

Which is why Twitter's going to be begging for mercy before it's done with, I predict.

2018-05-24 07:00:39 UTC  

if the lawsuit wins, then what happens to Twitter as a company? they cant touch Trumps account?

2018-05-24 07:00:54 UTC  

It's possible they can't touch anyone's

2018-05-24 07:01:17 UTC  

Or that they will be legally obligated to enact a 'demibanned' state
