Let's not forget that the SCOTUS has ruled Twitter is an official communications platform of the White House. Therefore Trump is not able to block people. It's a weird legal ruling, and it's hard to imagine this doesn't have implications for the rest of us. Can Twitter block you from participating in official White House communications?
- tropo 8y agoIt's more than weird. It's a crazy ruling. The press room in the Whitehouse is an official communications platform of the White House. With that ruling as precedent, can I barge in there? I can even behave better than Jim Acosta.
- belltaco 8y agoI think the difference is that you can still read Trump's tweets if you're banned from Twitter, but you cannot read Trump's tweets if you're blocked by Trump on Twitter. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DCNIGiUUIAALZrR.jpg https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DCNIGiUUIAALZrR.jpg

- razius 8y agoBut you cannot participate in the discussion, that's the point.
