I mean, it absolutely matters, but I understand that law, nuance and detail aren’t as important to other people as they are to me.

The crux of the matter is that the White House has declared the tweets made from that to be “official statements.” Preventing someone from accessing official government statements is, at the very least, considerably problematic.
That’s not what that means at all actually. The President is free to have twitter or not, but if he elects to use twitter he can’t block some people for communicating or receiving official government news (which his twitter account clearly qualifies for as was noted in the article). Nothing forces the president to…
Blocking a person can prevent them from seeing your tweets and responding to them which depending on how they argue could be viewed as interference.
Nah. If you haven’t, you should read the actual lawsuit. They do a much better job laying out why it’s about so much more than “reading the tweets.”
While that’s normally the case, his account has changed into something that does fall into the free speech realm. He uses it as an official platform, it’s his “public voice”, no different than holding a press conference or public meeting. While every other account on Twitter doesn’t fall under the “free speech LOL”…
Twitter isn’t blocking anyone. The President is.
This is like saying it’s okay to ban books, because HarperCollins is a private company.
No, only on platforms that the president chooses to utilize. No one is demanding that 45* open his FB platform up.
Because the constitution doesn’t care that you don’t respect social media as a means of communication. The constitution doesn’t see twitter any differently than people putting things on a physical bulletin board.
Disclaimer: I’m genuinely unsure if this is a serious comment or jest so I will answer it as if it was but I won’t spend too much energy on it.
Because the DCEU announced as soon as Man of Steel was released 3 movies starring people of color and one starring a woman compared to the MCU’s 15 movies without a woman or a person of color as the star. AND THEN the MCU pushed back two movies starring a PoC and a woman in order to make more room for two movies…
But, that’s what’s interesting about this. It’s not Twitter who’s blocking these people, Twitter is just providing the public forum. It’s the President of the United States who is directly blocking these people from speaking in the forum. So, to paraphrase your post, the President of the United States (the Government)…
Twitter doesn’t. But the question is, does the president or any functionary of the government have a right to allow only certain people to see official statements? Generally that’s been a no. Social media is obviously new and not contemplated in the law. The way to remedy that is to pursue it in the court or have…
But it’s not twitter that’s blocking the users. It’s Great Leader himself (or at least his interns) that’s doing the blocking.
You are not wrong, but I think the argument is that Trump as our President (why must this phrase exist...) has “proven” that his twitter account is his Presidential way of communicating with the public. As such, if he blocks people, it is theoretically the government silencing dissenting opinion and thus infringing on…
lol I love how these people are of such a low IQ that they dont understand how the 1st works in any way.
I thought it worked well. Not perfect, but well and much better than other attempts that fall flat. Ned had his moments and they weren’t all for comic relief.
Agree 500%.
God forbid a movie depicts New York as it really is. I love the cast bar the choice for Flash, that is the only one that feels forced. Find me a brown guy named Flash Thompson.
I legitimately wish Fox hadn’t pulled a copout with Sue Storm and just cast a woman of color. I hated that they needed to have her be adopted, just so they could keep her white. That was a big red flag for me, right from the start.
