A federal appeals court says President Donald Trump can't ban critics from his Twitter account.A three-judge panel agreed with a lower court judge who said Trump violates the First Amendment when he blocks critics.
The ruling came in a case brought by the Knight First Amendment Institute at Columbia University. It had sued on behalf of seven individuals blocked by Trump after criticizing his policies. The appeals court said the First Amendment does not permit a public official using a social media account for"all manner of official purposes" to exclude people from an otherwise-open online dialogue because they disagree with the official.

Isn’t this a little bit of overstep by the courts? Then AOC and other blowhards should follow the same rules.
If he can’t ban then AOC and others that represent the people in government shouldn’t be allowed to either.
Hitler is mad. Again
It is his account, let him block whoever he wants. Personally, I think we should all go after the person who taught him how to use Twitter. This is one communication avenue he should just drop.
Does that mean Twitter can't ban people that refuse to conform to the liberal left ?
This is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard and cannot even believe this went to and through the courts, what a waste of time and money!
RIDICULOUS
BS activist judges need to be held accountable themselves
Lawsuit upcoming against AOC
Boycott nbcsucks Starbucks and Nike both ant-American, both stand with cop haters. 🖕 to both!
Old new
Narcissist in it's truest sense.
Sue AOC for blocking critics.
The shitstorm begins. AOC is first.
Got it ... the other gov officials?
hahahahahaha
NBC should you start the word President like this? A major Media body even if you cannot wrap yourself around the POTUS should display respect to the office.
He doesn't want to do that anyway. He'd have a ridiculously low crowd size.
The current look on realDonaldTrump's face.
Trump 😆🤣
Let's all use our first amendment right how it was originally intended.
Why you sending this now lol
He’s going to have another meltdown.
nor aoc ;)
musicandguns1 Same should then go for Any politician
Trump can do everything he wants to you hear him he could stand on main Street and kill somebody and nothing would get away with it and he what a lots of things he have done wrong and given away with it that why they ain't going to dig into his past they no he carry a lot of dirt
Wow!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
That's mot rrue,anyone with a Twitter account can block anyone,anytime,anywhere,and Twitter cant do a thing about it, watch as i block you.
Like he cares? He is so corrupt and narcissistic
So we can’t block people? I am going to block you.... bye
He wants to say all the nasty things he can about everyone else without rebuttal.
Trump can't handle the truth. 🙄
I hope everyone who's banned from Twitter files complaint against Twitter. 1stAmendment
Anybody who criticizes Donald faces retaliation in every aspect of their lives. From his own Cabinet members, to Ambassadors, to journalists and world leaders. How about putting a stop to that crap?
Well then, where’s the courts on Facebook, U Tube, Twitter
So Twitter can ban and restrict anyone for whatever reason but users of Twitter cannot?
If you don’t like it, you can always quit tweeting.
ReElectCohen
woohoo SpeakerPelosi 2 judges state, the President is violating the Constitution, which he took an oath to uphold, IMPEACH
This also refers to AOC and Omar
I am a Trump supporter, but he needs to back out of Twitter.
If that is the case then Twitter can’t ban anyone for anything. If we have a first amendment right to speech then it always applies. Only under a court order should the public forum curtail any speech. If a user is harassing another then get a restraining order.
Crump 🤡 the loser their goes another strike just delete your Twitter account. And start writing letters that’s if you can write and spell
SOooo. I guess this means that Twitter cannot block anyone from twitter; EVEN IF THEY ARE CONSERVATIVES
The President POTUS should not worry about banning critics. Out in the World us lower Castes just appreciate the silliness the Media and others throw at the President and see it takes a bloke like him to Piss them off. Keep up the tweets POTUS anything to MakeAmericaGreatAgain
I guess this applies to all public officials then?
Damn, that means he’s going to be butt hurt on a daily basis!! There will be non stop twitter storms....
So does this apply to Democrats as well? Because that happens a lot.
This came up a while ago.
AOC is banning followers. Why doesn't this apply to her as well?
How about when Twitter blocks accounts? How can they do it but we cannot? Bias BS again.
hey AOC this case applies to you as well.
And his next argument will be “it’s ok, someone else blocked them”...
They aren’t critics. They’re trolls.
I have never seen any president live on Twitter as much as he does! He includes the public in almost everything then complains when people don’t agree with him.
Ha! Commander in tweet.
more critters
So be be FAIR that policy is for all elected officials. What are the consequences for blocking unwanted people on Twitter or Facebook? I think that they all have the right to block accounts for any reason.
That just doesn't fly. Trump blocking someone dies not stop them from saying anything they want including towards him. It only stops him from having to see it.
Trump only wants to hear from sycophants and butt-kissers.
The judiciary. The only thing that is still holding with this wannabe dictator.
You’re a president not the KING
Well isn't that stupid! So I guess Twitter needs to remove the block feature then because I guess millions of people's 1st amendment's are being violated.
And when he does anyway?
Does that go for everyone , even liberal socialist democrat resistance followers who block conservative Trump followers. What about Twitter Corp censoring conservative ideas. How do they plan to keep quiet The Russians or Chinese interference. Free speech.
A sign of emotional insecurity and immaturity.
The block button is built in .. And I use it
Too bad, so sad 🤪😜🤪😜😍😳⭐️🎉
But twitter can ban critics (conservatives)? That seems a bit biased in my opinion
Guess what he will do. He will continue to violate it and ignore the court order because why TF not? He literally gets away with everything. He has his cronies in Washington who will defend him. SpeakerPelosi won’t allow for an impeachment. Therefore, no oversight. We are doomed
Twitter is not a petition for redress of grievances.
Don’t tell AOC She bans critics as well.
Interestingly enough Obama was allowed to block critics when he was president. I’m not saying the court is wrong but the hypocrisy of letting a left wing president do it really pisses me off.
This should be of no surprise to anyone Trump will ban anything and everything that she doesn't like including people and little children.
He'll just appeal it to the SC. What the hell, it ain't his money.
But its completely fine that others do it? SMDH
Oh I'm about to follow that fool right now!!
BillionDollarLoser POTUS
He works for us!!
Violation of the first amendment; who wants to bet that he just ignores the judge's decision and continues blocking critics? He doesn't care, so who's holding him accountable?
Just so the court doesn't stop the critics from blocking him
SMH: Three sad words used most in this Administration, 'The President Violates'. Let's not do it again. VoteRight2020
Lmao
🙄 Make America Grownup Again
hear that, marcorubio Your twitter is our public square and your daily bible Establishment Clause violations are next up....
Because this is America? Huh, fancy him not knowing that. 😂👏👏👏
Would this new court ruling apply to all of those in public office? It should 100%
AOC
Did the call him a big, fat baby too?
Lulz
LOL. Yay.
Can't take the heat...get out the kitchen!!! Just saying! 😂😂👍
That is GREAT NEWS if Trump doesn't like what people say then he can STOP using Twitter
