"When Trump blocks people for disagreeing with him, he isn’t just deciding not to hear our voices; he’s cutting us off from receiving these official statements. He has closed the door of the virtual town hall meeting to everyone except people who agree with or say nice things about him. When the president uses social media to communicate about government policy with millions of people and solicit their responses, he can’t target individuals to exclude them. If Trump were using a private Twitter account to communicate with family and friends, he would be able to block anyone he wanted. (I block people all the time.) But this is not a private affair: I was blocked from @realDonaldTrump, the president’s most-followed account, the one he broadcasts from the White House. This is a 21st-century violation of free speech. It also means that, with criticism suppressed, the replies under his tweets now present a distorted picture of how Americans feel about our commander in chief."
