Politicians have the right to block you on Twitter
This opinion piece derived from a topic suggested in The New York Times‘s feature “Room for Debate.”
I was born February 13, 1999. Barack Obama was born August 4, 1961, and Donald Trump was born June 14, 1946.
You who are reading this also has a birthday. We all were born on this earth!
The point is that we are all human beings and have a life and that means we have things that we enjoy and things we dont.
So tell me, who enjoys being harassed constantly, criticized and even receive death threats death threats on a daily basis?
His inbox count most likely reaches 100 on the regular, which is overwhelming.
I was not able to vote, but if I could have I wouldn’t have voted for Trump. Despite that, I have no problem with him blocking people on Twitter. Some would say it allows him to hide controversial tweets from reporters and critics, but if his tweet is so important, then it will eventually be publicized.
Nothing in this world is private.
Then what’s wrong with him decreasing the amount his inbox count? It’s an available option to do so and he has the right to it, which we would all see as fair if we were in his shoes.
