We’re Telling a Court (Again) That President Trump and Other Government Officials Can’t Block People on Twitter For Disagreeing With Them President Donald Trump and his lawyers still believe he can block people on Twitter because he doesn’t like their views , so today we’ve filed a brief telling a court, again, that doing so violates the First Amendment. We’re hopeful that the court, like the last one that considered the case , will side with the plaintiffs , seven individuals blocked by Trump who are represented by the Knight First Amendment Institute .

After nearly two years of litigation in both the Eastern District of Texas and the Southern District of New York, AlphaCap Ventures dismissed its claim against Gust. Th...
