On Tuesday, a federal appeals court ruled that President Trump could not block critics on Twitter and used the argument that it is a “public forum,” where citizens have a right to engage with the President whether or not he agrees with them.
The court agreed with a prior ruling that it is unlawful for “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,” according to The Verge.
As a result of the ruling, another Twitter user is now motivated to seek action against Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for blocking him.
