☆ Appeals court rejects X challenge to special counsel secret demand for Trump Twitter data
  + stars: | 2024-01-16 | by ( Kevin Breuninger | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +1 min
A federal appeals court on Tuesday denied X Corp.'s latest challenge to a nondisclosure order it received as part of special counsel Jack Smith's search warrant for former President Donald Trump's Twitter account. At the same time, Smith obtained a nondisclosure order barring X from disclosing the search warrant to Trump or anyone else. X initially refused to comply with the warrant, and the district court in Washington, D.C., held the company in contempt and fined it $350,000. In August, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit rejected X's first appeal of the order. Put before 11 judges on the appeals court, X's challenge was again denied in Tuesday's order.

  + stars: | 2023-04-24 | by ( Lawrence Hurley | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +4 min
WASHINGTON, DC - APRIL 19: The Supreme Court of the United States, on Wednesday, April 19, 2023 in Washington, DC. But the legal dispute is the same: Can blocking someone on social media give rise to a free speech violation under the Constitution's First Amendment? It's a recurring question that has arisen at all levels of government as elected officials increasingly use social media to interact with voters. The appeals court concluded that the elected officials were acting in their official capacities and that social media accounts are akin to a public forum. The court also rejected the officials' argument that their social media pages were not official channels for members of the public to communicate with the government.
