Cool story, bro. But that’s not what’s happening. And it doesn’t answer my question.
We also have Christian Only areas.
The government is silencing its critics -- pretty much exactly what's happening.
How exactly are they doing that? If you are blocked on one persons tweet, you are silenced? Do they close your account? You can't write letters, editorials, tweets, facebook posts, stand on the corner and scream at the sky?
How? How are people silenced just because they can’t respond on Twitter? How on earth did people complain to the government before social media?The government is silencing its critics -- pretty much exactly what's happening.

It doesn't matter if there are other means. This Twitter account is open to the public and their ability to respond to the president's tweets is being restricted, thus their rights are infringed.How?

Any time the government denies you any (not all at once, but any )form of communication based soley on your political views, you're being censored. You may approve of it, but that doesn't make it any less of a first amendment violation.

A little more fiber in his diet would likely decrease his Twitter time.And then Donny discovers the Mute option and nothing changes.
Cite your sources that they were banned based solely on their political views and not for obscenity and vulgarity.
Do you realize that means if you have someone on ignore here on CF you are violating their constitutional rights!
I don't use twitter, but I'm assuming this is analogous to blocking certain users from responding to your own threads on Christian Forums.
Freedom of speech simply means the government can't prosecute you for saying things they don't like. It has never applied to social media; they are free to create whatever rules they want.
My source is Judge Naomi Reice Buchwald.
Who's yours?
And that is an irrelevant point, he is infringing the free speech rights of his critics.Really:
But on Wednesday, one of Mr. Trump’s Twitter habits — his practice of blocking critics on the service, preventing them from engaging with his account — was declared unconstitutional by a federal judge in Manhattan.I’ve read the link and the attached article. There is zero mention of the plaintiffs party affiliation
It is widely known that the President has his critics on both sides of the isle.
And that is an irrelevant point, he is infringing the free speech rights of his critics.
It is not, if you infringe on the rights of some citizens to partake in a public forum because they criticize you, a government official, that is an infringement of free speech.When a common sense court overturns it, that will settle the issue
And yes, it is relevant as an answer to the statement.
Only if you ignore the “just”.You just answered your own question.
What would your definition of "censorship" be, then?
No. They still have the right to contact the government.thus their rights are infringed.
The government does not have the right to pick how you wish to communicate with the government if they open up different forms of communication to the public. I can't tell one group they can only use e-mails, tell another group they can only use letters, and tell another group they can only protest at night from 3:35 to 3:45, etc. When you bar some people from communicating, but not others, that's an infringement of free speech.No. They still have the right to contact the government.
