> Twitter is not a legally recognized method of presenting Official Statements
The Trump DOJ disagrees. Further, the ruling that he had to unblock people on Twitter established exactly that. He had to unblock people because he's making statements about government policy.
Therefore, them muting/hiding/blocking him is impeding access to official government statements.
Further, once they mute/hide/block some of his tweets, they're presenting some but not all.
They would probably be safer to allow all or none. This middle ground is editorial control over government statements which is a bizarre middle ground.. imagine a major announcement or policy change not being reported? Or actively being quashed?
