The legal battle between President Donald Trump and his reply guys and Twitter<\/a> critics is entering a new phase now that a New York-based appeals court has ruled that the president can\u2019t block them from viewing his Twitter feed, according to multiple outlets.<\/p>\n

That decision upholds a previous ruling that the president violated the First Amendment when he blocked people who were critical of him and his policies.<\/p>\n

The ruling issued by Judge Barrington D. Parker states that \u201cthe First Amendment does not permit a public official who utilizes a social media account for all manner of official purposes to exclude persons from an otherwise-open online dialogue because they expressed views with which the official disagrees.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Twitter blocks were first contested by seven individuals who posted comments critical of the president and his policies back in 2017.<\/p>\n

The second U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals wrote that Trump constituted \u201cunconstitutional viewpoint discrimination\u201d by using the Twitter blocking feature to limit access to his social media account.<\/p>\n
