When Donald Trump tried to block some replies to his Tweets he was sued and the judge ruled against him. Why? Because Twitter is a public forum and you can’t shut down anyone for speaking in a public forum.

Good point.
he should shut it down for free speech!
Good points Edgework. This is a new realm and I feel like the courts will be arguing this for quite a while. Two things to add. Trump's justice Department disagreed with the decision, so they are taking the stance that the President should be able to block people's free speech in a public forum. That is troubling.
Also the court upheld that Twitter can block private users. So they can shut down anyone they want as long as, according to the courts, they are not a publicly elected official.
Here is a little more from Judge Parker.
Judge Barrington Parker, a George W. Bush appointee, wrote in affirmation of the district court's ruling. And secondly this is a decision about a Publicly Elected official. Twitter can still block private accounts and they have the right to do so.
"Because we agree that in blocking the Individual Plaintiffs the President engaged in prohibited viewpoint discrimination, we affirm," Parker wrote.
Parker explained that the court did not take a stance on banning users from a private account or whether the First Amendment governed speech on social media platforms.
"We do conclude, however, that the First Amendment does not permit a public official who utilizes a social media account for all manner of official purposes to exclude persons from an otherwise‐open online dialogue because they expressed views with which the official disagrees," Parker wrote.
"The public presentation of the Account and the webpage associated with it bear all the trappings of an official, state‐run account," Parker explained, meaning that the First Amendment governed the conduct of the account.
So you are advocating for government interference in a privately owned company? Because that is what this is plain and simple." I don't like what that company is doing so I am going to use my power as a governmental employee to shut them down." That is not ok. That is not American. There is no difference between a bakery not making a cake for a same sex couple's marriage because of their values and Twitter managing their content according to their values. If you don't like it don't go to that bakery and don't use Twitter.
The right continues to show themselves as hypocritical, reactionary, snowflakes. Just as bad as the left. Sheeple the lot of them.

Considering the track record, I suggest its just bluster. Twitter will go into a failure loop if the Trump makes the case that Twitter is acting in bad faith (they are) and then moves his account. The free market will rule.
Tump IS your president and he can do what he likes!
Sick of COMMUNIST FAR LEFT ANTIFA TWITTER BEING A MONOPOLY!
bastion, unlike your little irrelevant island in the north atlantic we do not, nor have we ever had a monarchy. Trump cannot do whatever he likes. I respect the executive office. That does not mean I have to agree with the executive and that is ok. That is part of democracy. Worry about your own country. I hear they are renaming London to Little Karachi. Hope you have some Aloe handy.
