We have the right to petition our government to redress grievances. As a public official, the bar for harassment is higher - for the President, I don't believe anything sent over twitter could be harassment.
- jakelazaroff 8y agoDeath threats?
- zaarn 8y agoI wonder how many death threats Trump receives over Twitter and if that makes any significant portion of the total amounts of threats. (Plus now you entered the territory of "threaten a public official with death" which gets the high ranking legal authorities into gear)
- jakelazaroff 8y agoI honestly have no idea; this was a hypothetical specifically meant to address the assertion that "for the President, I don't believe anything sent over twitter could be harassment."
- tekknik 8y agoso next democrat president I can write a harassment, err I mean opinion, bot to post useless opinions to everything they say blocking people with real discussion from having their floor time? OK, noted.
- freeone3000 8y agoYes! You can! Look at the twitter feeds of pretty much any elected official. Automated lobbyists won't have quite the reach of human ones, but it's still a worthwhile endeavor if that's something you care about.
