The Supreme Court weighed Tuesday whether public officials can block certain people from their social media accounts, invoking hypothetical arguments on high-profile figures from former President Donald Trump to Taylor Swift.
But Tuesday's cases dealt with a matter similar to a lawsuit filed against Trump after his decision to block critics from his personal account on Twitter, now X. The justices dismissed the case once Trump left office. The Biden administration backs the officials involved in the case, and Justice Department attorneys took a similar stance as the Trump administration did over Trump's Twitter account.
