The First Amendment has always applied to private property "town squares" that are open to public, originally this was decided in the case of indoor shopping malls.
- lmm 5y agoI think/hope there would be raised eyebrows if government agencies set up shop in private malls. Malls have realistic alternatives. Twitter doesn't, even for some government services.
- wpietri 5y agoI believe that's incorrect: https://www.freedomforuminstitute.org/about/faq/do-individuals-have-first-amendment-rights-on-others-private-property/ https://www.freedomforuminstitute.org/about/faq/do-individua... If you're thinking of Pruneyard v Robbins, that only applies in CA. And that wasn't based on the 1st Amendment, but on California's own constitution.
