Federal court tells Trump he can't block Twitter users for being mean to him

Trump lost his appeal to a ruling ordering him to unblock people from his @realDonaldTrump Twitter account.
Special snowflake Trump can no longer block Twitter users who are critical of him, a federal appeals court ruled on Tuesday.
According to an opinion from the Second Circuit, Trump engaged in "prohibited viewpoint discrimination" and violated the First Amendment when he blocked users who made critical comments from viewing his @realDonaldTrump Twitter account.
That affirms a lower court ruling that already ordered Trump to unblock the Twitter users — a decision Trump had appealed.
"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," the Second Circuit wrote in its ruling.
