3. Throwback Thursday: May 23, 2018
On this day in 2018, a federal district court judge ruled that President Trump can't block people on Twitter over their political views. US District Judge Naomi Reice Buchwald found that Trump's Twitter account was considered a "public forum" and that "blocking of the plaintiffs based on their political speech constitutes viewpoint discrimination that violates the First Amendment."
Seven Twitter users and the Knight First Amendment Institute at Columbia University sued the president and members of his administration. "President Trump's Twitter account has become an important source of news and information about the government," Knight Institute's executive director Jameel Jaffer said. Therefore, blocking people "because they've simply disagreed with the president" is unlawful, he stated. Some of the citizens on the lawsuit included a professor, a police officer, and a former professional athlete. — BI |
