Hi there,
Bad news out of the Supreme Court this week.
Justices heard a case on Twitter's choice to prevent then-President Trump from blocking users on his Twitter account, but Justice Clarence Thomas took it a step further.
While the case was thrown out, Justice Thomas foreshadowed a future review of the power of social media companies over free speech -- and appeared to side with Republicans in supporting Trump's return to Twitter. He said: “Today's digital platforms provide avenues for historically unprecedented amounts of speech … Also unprecedented, however, is the concentrated control of so much speech in the hands of a few private parties.”
Donald Trump used his platform to spread lies and encourage violence among his supporters. But now, Justice Thomas has signaled he may regain his platform -- and his direct line of contact to his radical followers.
We thought this issue was settled, but apparently it's not. So we want to know:
Do you want Trump back on social media?
Thank you for sharing your opinions. If we want to run winning candidates, it's crucial that we know how our audience feels about issues like these.
