End of Biased Internet Censorship?!

The office of the POTUS is not a private company, it's the government and serves all citizens, not just Trump supporters, you pretending the rules are the same between the two will not change the fact that they are not.

You really need to decide if a private business has the right to refuse business to anyone for any reason or not, you can't have it both ways (like your sexuality).

The office didn't ban anyone, Trump banned people on his personal account(and spare me your excuses for why that doesn't matter, it does).

Yet, citizens can see his tweets regardless of whether or not he blocks them. So what is the issue here? If they are owed the ability to interact with him on twitter *why* is it okay to ban anyone?

HYG, already covered, ignoring reality won't actually change it:

Disagreed, when Trump became POTUS his personal Twitter became of the state since he uses it as a Presidential platform to reach the people.

Trump's not just tweeting about what he had for lunch or his favorite movies, he's using it for official business.

If they want to tweet at him, They could just create a new account.

I'm not gonna argue with your opinion on his personal account because it is pointless.

If he uses it for official business a person is still capable of viewing those tweets, even if they aren't a registered twitter user. So why is it wrong to block them?

The only reason is because you feel they deserve to *engage* with him on twitter. Which a person can't do if twitter bans them.

It's not an opinion that Trump's personal Twitter stopped being personal when he became POTUS and used it for official POTUS stuff, that's a fact. Don't like this fact, don't become POTUS.

It's an opinion and it's not going to be debated, your opinion has been noted.

Point is, that's actually irrelevant if you feel people are owed not only the ability to read his tweets, but the ability to engage with him on twitter.

Self-soothe yourself over the fact that when the Dem wins in 2020, like Biden, Warren or Buttigeig, they won't be able to block all the Rightist trolls.

Though in reality, they all have thick skins and wouldn't rage over some mean comments online, because that comes with the job of Potus :0

It doesn't soothe me because I feel they should be able to block whoever they want.

Though going by the rules being imposed on Trump...Warren nor Buttigieg should be allowed to block anyone. Whether or not they win is irrelevant, she's a senator and he's a mayor.

You keep refusing to answer if you feel people are owed merely a right to view his tweets or the right to actually engage with him.

Jesus Christ. It is the law that all presidential and vice presidential communications must be preserved, including Tweets. It is why presidents cannot delete Tweets, and why they cannot block them from public view. Get it together.

You can view his tweets without even getting a twitter account. The only way to block them from public view is if he made his entire account private.

It does not matter. Courts have found that public records cannot be concealed from view. Which means if the record is a Tweet, the account holder cannot block someone from viewing it. It may not even be permissible for the platform to remove it. The issue is settled, so move on.

So the president can't block people from having access to him, but a private company can block people from having access to the president? Gotcha.

EDIT: Would it be legal for Twitter to ban Trump?

It didn't. Technically, literally, and abstractly, nothing changed.

The only thing that DID change is old farts who don't know how the darn fan-dangled internetz work ruled that his private twitter account cannot ban people from harassing him on Twitter because they don't understand, as you pointed out, that people can still see his tweets just fine and accounts can be created in seconds.

If the Justices understood that, they would have ruled differently. They didn't. They are too ignorant.

Actually, he's not. He still isn't using it for "official business."

Disagreed. See above.

You can't disagree with your own point. 🙂

You just pointed out the fundamental problem with the Justices' ruling. You don't even have an account and you can see the president's "clearly not official business and never will be" tweets.

teehee

Well I'm sure it's settled for those who are happy with the outcome, but that doesn't mean the opposition has to just accept it without complaint.

The transgender military ban has been settled. Time for folk to move on I guess.

No, the real reason for Robtard is it is a ruling that goes against what Trump wanted and anything or any situation that pisses of Trump, Trumptards, or conservatards is amusing to him.

It has nothing to do with he incorrect Supreme Court interpretations or his contradiction of how he thinks private social media companies should operate.

It's all about the lulz for him and owning Trump.

*crickets from leftist anti-Trumpers*

No doubt they'd love for Trump to get banned even though it would expose the weakness in their argument. Right now they're all probably brainstorming trying to figure out how to best answer your question without appearing to be biased.

Yeah, it's the same reason Rob and those like him are suddenly pro mega-corporations.

Oh, another fact as to why. Forgot about the historic preservation aspect at play as well.

His tweets are preserved.

I literally just went and viewed them, I don't even have a twitter account.
