But that public forum characterization has to also apply to all the Reps, Senators, Governors, Attorney Generals, and other elected officials as well as judges and other appointed political officers. It also applies to Candidates for the same offices, and in reality ex-Presidents, Senators, etc.
Does anyone really believe that if President Trump's Twitter feed is a public forum that Rep. Pelosi's isn't?
And by the way, the twitter feeds of police departments, fire departments, school districts, and every other public function are also public forums it seems. So apparently a police department or school can't ban posters on their twitter feed, no matter what the posters publish. Somehow I don't think the judge would rule the same in those cases.
I wonder how many posters @BrowardSheriff has blocked?
Exactly that’s one of the problems with this ruling. There is no clear line between when use of a forum such as Twitter ceases to be private and becomes public.
Another is that there may be reasons to block a user other than criticisms, such as excessive posting, obscene posting, offensive posting (more than just policy criticisms), attacks on family members, etc.
