To be fair, in regard's to Trump's Twitter account, a Federal judge has already ruled that Twitter absolutely may not remove his account, and likewise, he may not block people who insult his spray tan, because it's a de facto public forum for interacting with the POTUS.
> ruled that Twitter absolutely may not remove his account
I just skimmed through that ruling, and couldn't find this. Could you cite where she ruled that twitter couldn't remove his account?
In the part where it was declared a de facto public forum for interacting with the POTUS. It is implied that Twitter would face consequences for violating the rights of the population to redress grievances directly with their elected leader in the forum, in this case, it being a Twitter account. The US National Archives also weighed in and said they would sanction Twitter if the account is removed before the end of his Presidency.
Ah okay, you're implying something more nuanced than I originally understood you to be. Preventing trump from making any more tweets ("banning him") would be okay, but deleting the account and all existing tweets wouldn't.
