In 2018 the Knight Institute sued Donald Trump on behalf of people that he had blocked on social media. They said that he used his personal account to communicate official issues and therefore their right to access such information had been violated. The court had ordered that he should unblock the people and Trump had appealed the decision. The Supreme Court later vacated the ruling because the case could not be concluded before Trump lefr office.

bluebay:Not really so good shutting your door against your children. Sanwo-Olu is living on taxpayers’ money and all Lagos residents are contributors. So far the handle is being used to post official information by his administration, I don’t think he should shut anyone out. Only if the handle is used for posting personal information 17 Likes 2 Shares |

naptu2: Great citation. However, despite how much I loathe Trump and everything he stands for, I don't agree with the original judgement. Social media is like an open diary, everyone should have the right to block whomever you want. 3 Likes |

erniok:I noticed it earlier, however that does not change the fact that it remains his private account and their is a different official account for President of the united states which Trump choose never to use if I remember correctly. The judges overreached, which they do severally as Trump causes too much chaos regularly. If they wanted to correct Trump that he should stop using his private diary to announce policy decisions, they should have done it in some other way. Let's not forget that this is the same America, same Trump, and same justice system, that wanted to crucify Hillary because she used her private email to do work when she was Secretary of State. In fact I believe they are still investigating both Trump and Biden for doing the same sef. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2015/jul/26/donald-trump-hillary-clinton-email-scandal-criminal https://www.politico.com/news/2020/11/20/twitter-trump-transition-biden-potus-438880 1 Like |

bluebay:It's a different scenario. Sanwo Olu is the governor of Lagos state. He is accountable to all Lagosians. In the eyes of the law, he erred, he has no legal right to shut down or block a citizen on his page. He is a public figure. This is one of the reasons why laws are not static, they are dynamic in nature. If Nigeria citizens know their rights, things will not be like the way it is in Nigeria. And that is one of the major reasons why politicians feed on the ignorance of the people. 7 Likes |

marlow1962:Most Nairalanders do not properly process the question, neither do they comprehend or have the intellect to intelligently debate on this forum, hence the nonsense most of them are typing above. Any intelligent people would applaud the young man's bid to test the law. Society thrives on testing the law, evolving it, but here we are blinded by unnecessary hero worship like Sanwo-olu is paying any of them pocket money. It's so irritating. A good point to find out is, what is the position if a public official uses his private account for public purposes? Does the act metamorphose his account and thereby restricts him from certain actions? Which right thinking person won't be curious to know this? 1 Like |
