A court ruling on Wednesday has ordered President Donald Trump to unblock critics on Twitter with the claim that he can’t shut out opposing viewpoints.

A federal district court judge in May ruled that blocking people from the president’s @realDonaldTrump account violated First Amendment free speech rights in a case brought by The Knight First Amendment Institute at Columbia University.he seven people named in the suit were unblocked as the decision was appealed.

The institute tweeted on Wednesday that it had gotten word that many people on a list of 41 more Twitter users it had given to the Department of Justice had also been unblocked by @realDonaldTrump.

“We’re pleased to see the White House take steps to comply with the district court’s ruling that the First Amendment prohibits the president from blocking Twitter users simply because they have criticized him,” the institute said.

“However, we continue to receive reports that individuals beyond those we identified remain blocked from the @realDonaldTrump account.”

The institute argued that it was incumbent on the White House to immediately unblock any Twitter users shut off from the president’s account because of political viewpoints.

The Justice Department in June vowed to appeal the ruling, which the institute expressed confidence in defending.

good news

abeg make UNA send me BUHARI twitter account

Ok

Good! This should serve as a warning to leaders who downgrade/oppress others but are intolerant of their own dose of medicine like the dullard Nigeria have today on seat.

“..The greatest honour the government can do to the spirit of June 12 is to habitually respect the rights of Nigerians to differ and to dissent without persecution, obey court orders and prosecute the war against corruption without discrimination..."

way to go.... since he always do his press conference on Twitter, he has to accommodate every comment .

Better to block them on social media than to send EFCC after them even when their government is guilty of what the critics are accusing them of.

How can determine what one can do in a Personal social media account?

LOL, FFK please unblock me to.

i am not surprise to see our social media Judges passing there own judgement here.

For crying out loud it is his personal twitter account anyways what do I know

This is why I love America

Trump is Lunatic


With his corn silk- like hair.

Trump is some hardcore dude. He doesn't care.

That's where the rule of law is upheld.

Down here in Nigeria, the president would tell you it's in national interest to kick against the rule of law. It is a threat to national security to unblock such twitter users. This he does with brazing impunity

Lol , this one serious o!

All these liberal activist judges in the US, their time will end soon by the time Trump is done packing the courts with conservative judges

Trump no go hear joor. The guy stubborn.

Why? See wahala o.

The democratic liberals always attacking this man.

Is that not his personal account?

Trump, petty-minded and a kid in an old man’s body. A careless talker, egocentric and he is like a bull in a china shop. The guy is just a disaster waiting to happen.

With such comments, these bunch have confirmed that their brains are lifeless. Baseless hatred for PMB and terrible attempt at playing opposition has turned them into moronic zombies, incapable of objective and rational reasoning, always spewing trash. I wonder if they are even educated.

Very irredeemable and pathetic lots.

God bless Donald Abubakar Trump

Lol,

Someone cannot block people on twitter in peace again

Meanwhile the dullard and his cow crew are trying to silence the media and opposition politicians. The difference couldn't be clearer between a country operating shithole governance and a country governed along the lines of true democratic practices

old

A country that is same...

OK
