When they are working with the government, it is not so clear cut. Twitter hosting Trump's tweets is a business relationship between the government and a private business. Otherwise you have created a loophole the size of Alaska that allows government to violate constitutional rights by outsourcing the actual violation.
- sd8f9iu 7y agoSure, that's an interesting question, whether or not Twitter can block people commenting on Trump's tweets. If Twitter colluded with him, then I assume it would be considered the same as Trump himself blocking them. But if the White House released press releases exclusively on some right-leaning platform that independently blocked any dissenting views, I wonder what the court would say.
