The US Supreme Court debated whether personal use social media accounts should be subject to the First Amendment. Former President Trump's Twitter account was used as an example. A case involving school board officials blocking critics on social media was also discussed. There is still uncertainty about the line between personal and official use. The debate will continue next year. It is suggested to add indicators like "official account" or a blue checkmark to distinguish official accounts. (442 characters) On October 24, there was a debate in the United States Supreme Court to define the line between personal use social media account and official use social media account, and if the First Amendment would apply to them. One side argued about when does the Constitution limit the official account from blocking other users from that same account, and if that would reflect back on them. The same question used former President Donald Trump's Twitter account as an example because he has set it as a government official page, which makes his page fit under the cover of the First Amendment. One argued that if he gives speeches at his Mar-a-Lago, would that count under government use or personal use? During that same Tuesday debate, one of the cases about two school board officials from Poway Unified School District in California, they create a Facebook page and a Twitter account for the campaign and invite everyone to board meetings, comment about board activities, and safety issues in the district. There are two parents who frequently post critical comments about the official, and they got blocked from the two accounts. They took that matter to court, and a judge favored them. Another judge at the U.S. Court of Appeals in San Francisco wrote, when a state actor enters the virtual world and invokes their government status to create a forum, the First Amendment enters with them. Since this is a small debate, there is still an unclear line between the two, which has to wait until next year for a bigger debate about that. I found this article on the New York Times page. In my opinion, if you want people to know if your official account is real, add, quote, official account, unquote, next to your name, or a blue checkmark for X, aka Twitter.
