Excellent idea!
Only about 10 million bots to mute

Hmmm. Couldn't the head twit just shut down Trump's account? Kinda like a buddy of mine just got out of Facebook jail for posting stuff deemed "too" conservatively controversial. Or some one keeps dropping a dime on him. 😹🍿🍻🇺🇸

The Right to Free Speech does not include the right to be listened to.

That’s so funny. The left would be posting dozens of replies every minute. That way no one would even see Trumps Tweets. Trump has as much right to block people mucking up his twitter as anyone else does. The purpose of Trumps twitter account is to get a message out. Not to being a sounding board for Liberals. They have their own accounts.

The judge thinks that the President gives up his freedom of association.

If he doesn’t open their letter... is he blocking their speech?

If he doesn’t acknowledge their text... is he blocking their speech?

This is absurd.

Is a newspaper required to print every letter to the editor?

Social media companies have realized there is value in letting popular users that attract followings to have some moderation power to keep the discussions popular: for example blocking obnoxious disruptive people.

This is not about a right to expression, it is about a right to sabotage expression. These people suing Trump are free to draw their own large following to get their own message across and they can block Trump from those discussions if they like. They are only suing Trump because they can't get a large following of their own and want to say crap that other people don't want to hear. Not much different than the masked morons who crash conservative venues to shut them down.

If I go to FreeRepubic I expect a certain amount of moderation and ZOTS to keep it from being overrun by people that are just there to disrupt the discussion or be obnoxious.

If I go to a sub-reddit, the people that manage the sub-reddit set the rules. If I don't like it, I go to a sub-reddit with a discussion and rules I do like. I am free to make my own sub-reddit, and maybe if others find it interesting they are free to engage. If somebody is a bomb thrower then I am free to ban them. Same rules for everybody using the product. And its wise to let the users decide rather than the social media company making different rules for different people, which is dangerous and destructive.

The private company Twitter built the block function into their program. Is the judge suggesting that no one has a right to use the block feature on this private company’s website put there for the use of its clients or is only Trump barred from using it?

Just what are this judge’s opinions on equality under the law?

WTF?

So TwitterfakebookYoutube et al can shadowban someone’s posts from their own page and keep their followers from seeing them but a troll posting hate on your page cannot be “banned” because ‘free speech’???

Beam me up, there’s no intelligent life here.

“A judge recommended Thursday that President Donald Trump mute rather than block some of his critics from following him on Twitter to resolve a First Amendment lawsuit.”

Friday morning President Trump tweets to the mentally ill, busybody judge, “Get bent, goron”

There is no first amendment to be heard.

The judge is an anti-Trump liberal.

This Judge just expressed his free speech. As anyone can do with with another’s free speech, POTUS DJT should simply choose to ignore the Judge’s expression

I don’t have a Twitter or Facebook account (and I guess it shows), but I thought Twitter was one-way for you to receive someone’s tweets. I didn’t know you can answer back.

No, Trump, like all of us, should have right to say who can be in our feeds. They can post directly so their free speech is not infringed. If the judge rules that Trump (by by extension all of us) cannot block anyone, that is a major rule change on these sites. It is also one step close to these being public utilities, meaning that Twitter, Facebook, etc. will not be able to block people when they don’t like our voices.

What about Twitter itself blocking only conservative speech?

The f*ckfaces at twatter deliberately suppress people who don’t repeat the official leftist party line, and intentionally promote accounts of those who hate the country, such as muzzies. Yet the f*ckheads want to force Trump to allow anybody who wants to follow him, with the accusation of “unconstitutional”?

Leftists live and die for the double standard.

Fallow asked Buchwald to find that Trump’s Twitter feed is an official government account that operates as a public forum and thus blocking critics violates the First Amendment.

There's a slippery slope in a couple of different ways, which is probably exactly the intention. Who else on twitter "operates as a public forum"? What other venues now magically become a "public forum"?
