Then again, he has declared that tweets from his personal account are the only true official White House statements that exist, so in light of that I see the argument that his personal account shouldnt be able to block people either.


Should this apply to every politician, or just him?

I think it's a particularly interesting debate also in the context of Twitter occasionally deleting "offensive" tweets from GOP candidates.


I think most politicians who are actually savvy enough to use Twitter themselves have a personal account and an official government agent account. In ALMOST EVERY CASE, I think the personal account should do what it wants, but blocking people from the official account should be, at the VERY least, heavily discouraged. Not sure about lawsuit-worthy but Im on the fence.

Trump is a unique case because he specifically told us never to trust official White House statements which have on more than one occasion contradicted his tweeted stances. This is why we have judges, to figure this shit out.
