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.

if u have the tech that allows u to do that

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

where you can't interact with anyone but public officials

which would be a logistic nightmare

I hope they release the video of the judgement of this thing

with a 70 yo trying to figure out all this

Another thing will be accountability imo

Will you be able to sue twitter if say bernie sanders blocks you
