Just over a month ago, a group of blocked Twitter users (represented by the Knight First Amendment Institute at Columbia University) sent a letter to the POTUS, arguing that he cannot constitutionally exclude people from a “public forum.”

“Of course, it is easy to understand why you and your advisers might have found our clients’ posts to be disagreeable. Even if the posts were scornful and acerbic, however, they were protected by the First Amendment,” they wrote.

“The protection of speech critical of government officials is perhaps the core concern of the First Amendment, because the freedom of individuals to engage in this kind of speech is crucial to self-government.”

Trump has yet to respond formally to the complaint.
