      Seems very plausible that the president blocking people on Twitter could constitute a First Amendment abridgment http://www.nationallawjournal.com/legaltimeshome/id=1202792711986 …

      Trump's Twitter account promulgates official information about the government, and serves as a public forum.pic.twitter.com/wYzczlcXsC

      Blocking users based on critical comments they've made infringes on their First Amendment right to engage in the forum. Straightforward.pic.twitter.com/M4VGXgg3Kx

      pro-Trump trolls who posture as warriors for Free Speech but don't care about this very obvious abridgment are, unsurprisingly, a bit dull.

          Relatedly, this is a key point. Despite being a private company, Twitter still has certain 1st Amendment obligationshttps://twitter.com/JameelJaffer/status/886039474685214721 …

          In addition, fact that Twitter is a private company is irrelevant. Many public forum cases involve private property (5/8)

          That's a worthwhile topic, but entails a different set of considerations. Only one Twitter user is the President of the United States.

          The blocked are not silenced when Trump blocks. Twitter completely banning individuals for their critical speech would be a better soapbox.

          The question is whether anything he says in his personal Twitter account can be deemed an official statement. That seems a bit of a stretch.

          Especially as his Twitter account existed long before his presidency, & it's far-fetched to suggest ppl cannot otherwise contact the gov't.

          Couldn't one argue that they have a right to still use the platform, even to tag him, but not the right to force him to see?

          Most of those I've seen blocked by DT consistently post profane & vile verbally/pictorially abusive posts. Appropriate to be blocked.
