If it is ruled Unconstitutional to block people on Twitter or Facebook, those social media forums are toast. They are over. No one will put up with bullies and stalkers.
I think the judge was hanging the case on the fact that Trump is the President, and posted as the President, so he is posting as a public person, so he must take all comers. Sadly, I agree with this....but I know it doesn’t apply to private/personal accounts.

Trump, roundtable on immigration, live now on intros. Trump gave Rosenstein a firm and friendly handshake, they looked each other in the eyes.
Yep, you can tell David Brock talked her into it. Midterms will now be a trollfest, unless some hackers mess up the platforms so bad that nobody can use them for electioneering, which is what deep state desperately needs right now.
That is true but (hopefully) not what this is all about. It amounts to throwing the baby out with the bathwater and shows an incredible lack of understanding of free speech.
All mediums including the street corner soap box can have limits on attacks and stalkers. What they can't and shouldn't have is limits on free thought and opinion. Big difference. Blurring the lines between the two seems like something one would do in order to scuttle the whole deal.
All social media really. I mean, if Trump can't block posters from HIS page, then Twitter/Facebook can't block users from their site for any reason, and if they can't, then nobody can. Free-for-all. Nobody will want to openly post any more because the noise will drown out the discussion.
Then again, maybe that's the leftist judge's goal - to eliminate the free expression of ideas on line.
Family gatherings will be a lot more enjoyable without social media. Recent grandaughter's wedding involved us all gathering in a location with no WiFi or cell coverage. People talked. Teens & grandparents played rummy and Trivial Pursuit. Kids swam and played basketball (grampa even joined in a few min). LOTS OF LAUGHTER!
Last gathering before this everyone sat around staring at phones. Yup, I'm guilty too. I only Freep on my phone. Of course all that talking gave me a captive audience for red pilling. No telling what the groom's family thinks of the bride's crazy granny. Fortunately this Crazy Granny just don't care!
