...President Trump’s Twitter account is a public forum and blocking people who reply to his tweets with differing opinions constitutes viewpoint discrimination...

By that logic, Twitter should not be allowed to censor anyone.

Hypocrisy much?

Does he have the right to throw his junk mail in the trash?

The key is her ruling that:

President Trump’s Twitter account is a public forum

So she is narrowing it to say that his account is a public forum, not all twitter accounts. Not sure how she makes that leap though. However, anytime a Democrat President sends a tweet I guess we are free to lambaste him/her at will. Perhaps it even extends to all politicians.

I expect Barnes Law is already working this decision into their case against Twitter.

Barnes Law Ask Me Anything

Current Case:
Charles Johnson vs. Twitter, Inc.
CHARLES C. JOHNSON’S LAWSUIT FILED AGAINST TWITTER ON JANUARY 8, 2018. THE BIG QUESTION IS WHAT HAPPENS TO FREE SPEECH IN THE PUBLIC SQUARE WHEN IT’S OWNED BY A PRIVATE MONOPOLY.

Either President Trump can block people OR he can’t and.....Twitter, Facebook, Youtube/Google etc cannot block or censor others for expressing their views either. That too is viewpoint discrimination.
