You follow the path
fitting into an infinite pattern.

Yours to manipulate, to destroy and rebuild.

Now, in the quantum moment
before the closure
when all become one.

One moment left.
One point of space and time.

I know who you are.

You are Destiny.

So will Twitter remove the ban function from the @realdonaldtrump account or is someone going to chase him down and physically wrest the phone from his hands?

Nothing will happen because nobody will enforce it.

On the one hand, Trump is an idiot and needs to be off Twitter.

On the other hand, this ruling just made blocking spam illegal for a government official. That's sort of dumb.

I can’t imagine Trump reads any responses. Really the only issue was how people he blocked couldn’t see his tweets. If Twitter didn’t work that way this probably wouldn’t be an issue.

Kiiiiiiiinda makes sense. Even spam is a form of communication, and it's communicating how the population is willing to accumulate wealth.

If it's problematic, elected officials should be made aware of it.

So, the president of the United States was ruled to be breaking the rights outlined in the constitution and still gets to be the president?


Also, I find it enjoyable to see so many news articles that refer to him as Mr. Trump instead of President Trump or anything similar.

1. This is normal, but if the government were to keep enforcing a law or performing an action found unconstitutional I think the Supreme Court would find them in contempt, but in truth they can probably do whatever they want since America mostly has norms instead of laws lmao

2. This is standard (but old-fashioned) journalistic convention, mostly for older outlets - you see it a lot in the NYT and I think the WSJ might do it?

Quite often the first mention of a president will be President Obama and then after that they drop off the President.

He can still mute you, he just can't block because that stops you from being able to read his presidential decrees and he has a first amendment responsibility to not discriminate who gets to read those. He'll probably just ask Twitter to convert all his blocks to mutes.

Oh who am I kidding he'll go on a Twitter rant and then ignore the ruling and nobody will care.

Not necessarily - there's ample precedent stating that commercial speech doesn't have quite the same level of First Amendment protection as personal speech.

Mute is fine. He can mute people. Mute is one-way, block is two-way.
