(Good News)?
So why did I add (Good News) to the title?
Discuss below.

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump cannot block his critics on Twitter just because he disagrees with them, a federal appeals court ...
To: Responsibility2nd
How about you tell us why since it was YOUR DECISION.
To: Responsibility2nd
If Trump can’t block people with “annoying” viewpoints, then how can Twitter management justify blocking people with “annoying viewpoints”? Free Speech is free speech, right?

This ruling may give our side ammo when Twitter and Fakebook do censorship.

What about freedom of association? Seems to be that is ALSO a Constitutional right.

I’d have agreed that keeping it open was wise policy, whether or not a court ruled about it. Trump shouldn’t get silly. He’s not Trump the Private Party now, he’s Trump the President of a country, whether or not all the people are willing to accept him.

I don’t see this as good news because DJT is being denied a Twitter benefit others enjoy.
To: Spacetrucker
...crap. Okay, how about now?

Does this mean that NOBODY can block people they disagree with on Twitter?

I’ve been blocked by more than a few Twitter Snowflakes who aren’t into facts.
To: Responsibility2nd
I’m sure Twitter can still silence Trump allies though.
Frankly, no Trump voter should even use them.

Let's see.
- POTUS Trump can not block users on Twitter because it is a public forum.
- Twitter can block users on Twitter because it is not a public forum.
OK, got that … </sarc>

It’s true... at least where national affairs are concerned, if these media want to ride on the discussions, the discussions ought to be open with very, very broad boundaries. (Like, you’re a citizen or resident of the country.)

So why did I add (Good News) to the title? Obviously it sets precedence so that libs can't likewise muzzle conservatives. I wonder if this can be applied to an entire platform and its managers (twitter/facebook/whatever).

Obviously “what’s good for the Goose is good for the Gander” so to speak.

That is how I see it.
To: ClearCase_guy
Exactly.
Notice how the court ruled Twitter is a PUBLIC FORUM?
And as such, the blatant censorship and discrimination Twitter engages in is not just immoral. It’s illegal.
To: Governor Dinwiddie
This might be an example of Trump 3-D chess.
