The court confirmed that the Twitter account was used for official communications with the public (and therefore couldn't be arbitrarily restricted).
Does the military act on press releases? I would think both have importance based on how everyone else reacts to them, not because they serve as internal communication channels for the government.
- austincheney 7y agoA tweet is not a press release and neither of those are lawful orders. Congressmen, for example, have numerous options for communicating officially with their constituents. That communication is not an indication of lawful actions or policy though. Its like comparing the correspondence of a legal action from the government to a campaign rally. Just because many people in the public cannot tell the difference does not make them equivalent.
