So is this going to apply to all public officials? Is it okay for Nancy Pelosi to block someone on twitter?

Oh, I'm sure it will be perfectly fine for her and every other public official to block whoever the Hell they like. The rule only applies to Trump, of course lol.

Hopefully, this will be appealed to the Supreme Court (where conservatives have a clear majority🙂 ).

^ Trumpers can self-soothe themselves that when Biden, Buttigeig, Harris, Warren or whichever Dem wins in 2020, they won't be able to block people either, not that they ever would, because they'll be POTUS and have better things to do than get into social media fights with private citizens on Twitter and then rage about blocking them after their fee-fees get hurt because someone said mean things.

Why is Robbie so full of Hate?

Oh wait cause He is a POS.

So Being President makes you Lose the rights that all other citizens have?

Not that anyone who votes RIGHT has all the same "RIGHTS" as those that Vote Left on Twitter.

Well it has begun: two people are filing lawsuits against AOC for blocking them on twitter. *shrugs* And nope we will not be saying this only applies to Trump, either all public officials can block or none can.

Oh it is to LARF!

Would be funny to see this go for Celebrities as well. Especially those that use Twitter to push their own products and the like.

It's not like they told Trump that he must at all times maintain his account. Just go off Twitter, I've never had an account and I'm still here. All seems quite stupid to me, if you're not allowed to block people then why is it an option to begin with?

Certainly seems that way.

Some are trying to argue she isn't like the POTUS, which is true she isn't as powerful. However, she is a public official and is able to vote on things that impact more than just those in her own district. Also pretty sure her salary comes from the federal government and thus not just the people of NY, but all tax payers.

I'm seeing talk of Rep. Cohen(the chicken eater) also being sued by people he has blocked.

But he's probably a long-winded blowhard because that's what philosophers do.

Other groups are saying to use twitter to have better arguments:

Read an article yesterday that AOC already got in trouble after this ruling was made. Meaning, it's not just Trump. Apparently, AOC blocked people.

According to the far-left, it's ok when their side does it.

I don't use twitter myself, but I find it silly to say it is pointless. It *could* be a valuable tool if used properly.

It gets abused though and even worse is now there is a tendency from the media(on both sides) to craft entire stories around the tweets of maybe half a dozen twitter users. That is where this "White folk are mad over black mermaids!" shit came from. One of the tweets came from a troll account, there were a few legit ones. Out of billions of users.

And the chicken eater Stephen Cohen lol. He's a dem, but I'm sure other republicans have people blocked too.

The excuses being given for AOC are "these people aren't their constituents". Like I said, she is able to vote on stuff that impacts me and you though. And draws a federal paycheck.

I'm still not okay with this ruling. I think Twitter should get to censor right-wingers all they want and Trump should get to use his private twitter account in any way he wants within Twitter's guidelines.

Maybe, but alas what's good for the goose...
