I'm pretty sure the rules of the US constitution regarding the government only apply to branches of the US government.

This ruling doesn't affect what Twitter can do, only what the US government and its officials can do.

- icebraining 7y agoThis ruling doesn't force Twitter to do or stop doing anything. It's purely about how US officials themselves have to behave. Other states may have their own laws on how their officials can behave, or not.
