@John Brown... Re: ID 10 T alert

Trump has two accounts. His own personal account and now the WH account that was created by Obama. While they may have rights to control the account, Twitter owns the system so you can't say that the twitter account is an extension of the government. You are essentially rewriting the laws on property ownership and rights.

Having said that...

If you look at Clinton's server, which is her own property, set up at her house... with the sole user being her and her staff and was her sole form of communication... you would have a better case making your statement that it was in fact a defacto work system and hence she ceded the property to the government.

(I'm sure that there exists case law that would support that.)

If you get bounced, what's to stop you from creating another account and then following Trump?

Or having multiple Twitter accounts?
