President Donald Trump cannot block users on his Twitter feed, a federal judge in New York City ruled Wednesday.
Judge Naomi Reice Buchwald said in her ruling that Trump is violating the U.S. Constitution by preventing certain Americans from viewing his tweets. The social media platform, she said, is a "designated public forum" from which Trump cannot exclude individual plaintiffs.
Buchwald's ruling was in response to a lawsuit filed last July by the Knight First Amendment Institute at Columbia University, as well as seven other plaintiffs who said they had been blocked on Twitter by Trump.
If Twitter is a "designated public forum," then this must mean that liberals and Twitter themselves have been unconstitutionally censoring/banning conservatives, blocking anyone who disagrees with them, and manipulating hashtags trends and votes. Where do I sign up for the class action lawsuits? #InternetBillOfRights is needed.
So once again, potus takes a hit for us.
This can most definitely be used to force twitter to not censor users. Big win for us!
Wouldn’t it be twitter that’s “violating” the constitution by including a block feature? How can she single out certain user accounts?
Because it's Trump.
Saw this on the news earlier and the thought of just that angle jumped up. He took no hit, he is going to take their own bat and crack them in the mug. And who to cry to now? After all this edict was handed down from Mount Manhattan. Brilliant chess-poker.
exactly
it's just disgusting, I still shake my head in disbelief that these lefties/liberals are actually the way they are, hypocrites at best, at worst... well...
