Some officials risking Twitter lawsuits

LINK:

GENERAL DESCRIPTION:

This essentially puts officials on notice to not block Twitter users from posting.

Public officials have the problem given they are subject to the recent supreme court ruling.

Hey Mario,
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing these local opportunities with everyone. I had a fun time reading these and seeing how everyone's opportunities - especially your's - change based on our location. I especially liked your post about the "Solo" movie, since I have not been watching the new Star Wars movies lately. It's fascinating to see, despite "Star Wars" movie title, that even movies like these may not do so well if they aren't received well by the consumers or critics. Keep up the good work!
