It started as one of those ridiculous controversies of the Trump era. In May and June 2017, then-President Donald Trump blocked a few Twitter trolls who were criticizing his tweets.
The next month, those trolls, backed by Columbia University s Knight First Amendment Institute, sued the president, alleging that blocking them on Twitter violated the First Amendment. The key question was whether Trump s 89-million-follower Twitter account, @realDonaldTrump, was an official public space, where Trump would be subject to accusations he violated his followers First Amendment right to respond to him, or whether it was a private space where Trump could do what he wanted.
