As Twitter has now been officially declared a public forum it can no longer ban people based on their political speech as it denies those being banned from interacting with government officials.

Sure it can. Any non-leftist speech is by definition hate speech. Not only is hate speech not protected by the 1st Amendment, it is illegal and prosecutable to the fullest extent of the law.

Haven't you learned the rules of the game yet?/s

I believe the judge was speaking to Trump’s use of it since he is now an elected official. Nice try. Using your conclusion, there would be no more zots on FR when someone’s panties go a little too tight or no more moderation on Hannity’s forum or other such similar places.

We shall see how that works. I suspect this judge would tell you that “public forum” only applies to the President or other folks the judge selects.

Were Twitter a true public forum one would not have to sign up for an account in order to post to it.
