Just sign out and go to their profile if you must see the tweets. Really not a big deal. Public legislators matter in that their tweets impact a very large percentage of people. I could tweet shvt and about 2 people would smell the stink like a cat in a sil, I observe life, moving and still.

That being said, Trump using these platforms to suppress opposing voices is still a MAJOR violation of the first amendment. 08, 09, 11, 13, 16, 20 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 2 republicans are also trying to sue AOC for blocking them on Twitter... Twitter is not a government owned company & neither are the accounts held on their site so this case honestly doesn’t feel valid. It’s like people saying Starbucks can’t kick cops out of a public place, they actually can because it’s not a public place, it is privately owned property.

However on that note you could argue that in Trumps case it violates the first amendment rights as everything Trump says or tweets is classified as an offical release, and therefore everything he says and does must be in line with the first amendment. I’m not sure whether the same rules apply to members of Congress but if they don’t then it could be argued that their twitter acc’s are for personal use rather than official business, as they are not a part of the executive but rather the legislative. 08, 09, 11, 13, 16, 20 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lmao either way it doesn’t change the fact that I think both cases against AOC & Trump are dumb & that they should be able to block whoever they want on a privately owned social media site.

Its not part of government but its also not a private company. These companies get government protection, allow them to break the law, give them special treatment, make it illegal for Americans to sue Google, dont pay taxes.. Any company that gets government protection like this are not part of the free market and no other company can ever compete with it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
