The Supreme Court has ruled on a case on Monday related to former President Donald Trump’s use of his Twitter account. Specifically, the case dealt with whether or not he was allowed to block users who were repeatedly criticizing him.

Twitter users filed the case Knight First Amendment Institute v. Trump in 2017 and argued that the former president had violated their First Amendment rights by blocking their user accounts.
