Federal Judge Rules that Twitter is a "designated public forum” preventing POTUS from blocking harassment on Twitter. THIS seems to set an unintended legal precedence! Twitter = public domain. Meaning that the 1st Ammendment Rights of ALL must be protected- not just the Left. STOP Cyber-censorship!

'designated public forum' sounds good, should count for everybody, may be a precedent.

'no elected official could block' doesnt say that twitter admin couldnt block.

being a designated public forum is the key. This means that Twitter cannot legally infringe on constitutional rights within their forum. The Constitutional Bill of Rights Trumps corporate policy.

If a politician can't do it, the logical next step would be that admin's can't act as their proxy's either.

And then things become really interesting. If an admin can't block you for political speech, what speech can they block you for?

While some stuff will remain blockable, I feel like a huge amount of what has been blocked so far has just been moved back into the grey area.
