      On behalf of those of us still blocked by Trump or politicians, a modest proposal to @jack: disable the block function on the accounts of US elected officials. They are already given special privileges on this website. @Twitter should enforce their special responsibilities 1/.

      Twitter allows Trump to say the sort of things that would get the rest of us suspended or kicked off. The argument is that the statements of politicians are inherently newsworthy, even if they contain abuse, harassment or violent threats. 2/https://www.vox.com/culture/2017/9/26/16367510/twitter-trump-threats-not-policy-violations …

          Courts also treat the speech of elected officials on sites like @twitter as special, ruling that because they are government officials they cannot infringe 1stAmdt rights by excluding us from the virtual venue where they make their pronouncements 3/ https://www.nytimes.com/2019/07/09/us/politics/trump-twitter-first-amendment.html …

          It is not just Trump - courts have consistently ruled that state and local officials cannot block constituents on @twitter. They can mute (and should if people are being abusive) but cannot block us from the digital town hall that is the replies. 4/ https://www.governing.com/topics/politics/gov-twitter-facebook-censorship-blocking-government.html …

          Here is the problem: if you get blocked by an elected official, and don't want the expense and hassle of bringing them to court - and lets face it, how many people will do that? - you are pretty much out of luck. The law may be on your side, but its not like you can call 911. 5/

          So: rather than relying on court injunctions to help its users, why can't @twitter proactively adopt the established legal principle that elected officials cannot block members of the public into how it designs its website? 6/

          Seems like two pretty straightforward options: a) remove the block function from elected officials OR b) allow the blocked to petition @twitter to be unblocked in the same way one would report abuse. Maybe obvious legal/software issues I am missing here, so feedback welcome 7/

          The status quo is not working: Trump has been told by courts that he cannot block, but many of us remain blocked. @Twitter can be a good corporate citizen by preventing elected officials from doing something the courts have decided is unconstitutional. Block the blockers! 8/
