Telling the president to unblock critics was easy, but interpreting the rule for other government accounts could be hard. BKC’s Kendra Albert, for instance, says the court’s decision is unnecessarily ambiguous.
“The lower court decision actually does a really good job of explaining why it matters that people are blocked, even if they can just log out of Twitter and see the president’s tweets otherwise,” Albert said, “and it’s because there’s sort of this discursive space going on underneath the tweet.”
